They were from a time when swearing and insults were not considered comedy so innuendo and word play was more important.

This is one of Ronnie Corbetts most famous sketches, Might be a little English at points but pretty funny none the less.

It will be a small casket, considering the scale of the loss the nation will feel at his passing. I always made sure to catch The Two Ronnies, when they played repeats of the show in the nineties. I was only a lad, but I found them to be hilarious as a duo. Their like will probably never be seen again, mores the pity.

Hoist a glass, wherever you might be, to a true legend and a proper gent!

And Ronnie...do not be too upset that they didn't send two angels for you, as is traditional. You are only a little chap, so more than one would be an improper use of resources!

'Ave you got any 'o's! Sad days, just more greats gone. R.I.P. Ronnie.

Pity he's gone

He was a comic genius who's managed to keep up with the world as it changed.

Apparently he was only 5 foot 1 and when he did national service he was the shortest commissioned officer in the British Forces.

Another of my parents' generation gone forever. Irreplaceable.

There are no words.

RIP

At least the two of them will get a chance to resume their conversations;

Very sad - always loved them as a kid.

RIP Ronnie
