Today a great British comedian is laid to rest in Liverpool and the turn out is going to be huge. Goodbye Sir Doddy...you'll always make us laugh! Raise your Jam Butties in the air and tickle your chuckle muscles.

I actually live in knotty ash in Liverpool, about 300 yards from Doddys house, he was amazing for our area and did an awful lot for local charity’s. he will be so missed. RIP Sir Ken.

Thanks to all of you for your comments on the sad loss of this National Treasure. I'm crying with laughter after watching a couple of tribute shows to him on t.v. just now, he was hilarious! All the more reason to mourn this supreme entertainer.

Doddy, Sir Ken Dodd

The world will be a less funny place without you.

For the members who maybe don´t know the name: Doddy was one of the greatest funny men.

Some of his best one-liners:

"My dad knew I was going to be a comedian. When I was a baby, he said, 'Is this a joke?'"

"I haven't spoken to my mother-in-law for 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her."

"My act is very educational. I heard a man leaving the other night, saying: 'Well, that taught me a lesson.'"

On his famous tax fraud trial: "I told the Inland Revenue I didn't owe them a penny because I lived near the seaside."

"I do all the exercises every morning in front of the television - up, down, up, down, up, down. Then the other eyelid."

"I did 25 minutes running on the spot this morning - I had my braces caught in the banister."

"I wanted to take the dog to obedience class but it wouldn't go."

I've experienced four of his shows and it's usually the early hours before you get away. Made my ribs sore with laughing so much. He had the audience in his hands, nobody else could or ever will match him. A fine singing voice too!
RIP Doddy

The flags will be at half mast at the Jam Butty Mines in Knotty Ash.

I was lucky enough to be at one of his mammoth shows and laughed all through evening. He was part of the 'soundtrack' of my life from an early age and was a unique talent who will be much missed.

I hadn't heard of him so I saw a ten minute piece on YouTube. Best line: "I'm a sex symbol for the women that don't care."

a true showman. always family fun. His shows always over.ran by at least an hour!
he will be missed.

It is a shame and he will be missed . With reference to his song "Happiness", I was at a school fete one summer and they had some of the **** singing their favorite songs , unfortunately their pronunciation of the title word sounded more like "A PENIS" this had most of the adults grinning and chuckling .
