Des O'Connor!

Post by Nigel H-J »

More sad news Des, who was the butt of jokes from Morcambe & Wise regarding his singing, has sadly passed away after a fall though he did live to the grand age of 88 years. :((

Regards
Nigel.

Russ Abbott used to take the mickey out of his singing too. Somebody who could laugh at himself. A quality sadly lacking nowadays.
