So did I
For various reasons he used to visit a house quite near to me. The Old ladies in the village used to love their vists from him.
I was really sad when I heard that on the news.
The end of an era - no-one can replace the irrepressible Danny La Rue.

Bless him. I permed his hair in the 70's, he was soo nice. I went to see him in Panto that week, he spotted me in the audience and threw me one of his 'diamonte' rings and winked at me, bless him

I loved Danny, my Aunt lived in Rupert Street Soho then moved through the alley to Berwick Street Soho, she'd met Danny loads of times, she'd get me to do her shopping alway's promising me she'd arrange a meeting with Danny, she never did.

OMG I tought he was older than that, he seems to have been around forever..RIP Danny....
I'm sorry to hear this, and he was brilliant and would love to see that movie he was in many years ago, but do remember some words of that song he sang, which I wouldn't add here.
R.I.P Danny, you were fabulous.

very sad ti hear this
opps very sad to hear this
All the ones that used to make me laugh or entertain me seemed to have passed over. Apart from a very very few I don't like the trend of so called modern comedians/humour/entertainers. RIP Danny 
I wonder if there will be a TV tribute programme to him...?
