Well said Maureen. Norman was an all round entertainer with humility. You just don't find that these days. I always remember that 'trip' immediately after his knighthood (received from the late Queen). Priceless!

Norman Wisdom was a one off. An incredible personality who had a hard upbringing. He used his natural gymnastic skill to bring us some wonderful comedy. He made me laugh as a kid. I'm in my mid fifties and I still remember his films with a smile.

As kids we never missed a film starring Our Norman. A weekend treat when he was at the local cinema. We enjoyed his films,and so did our parents. His "costar" on several occasions was Margaret Rutherford,and they worked very well together. And could he sing! A beautiful voice,clear enunciation,and moving songs. He sang with Joyce Grenfell,and they matched each other to perfection. I grew up with these stars,and they helped me grow up. I miss them still. R.I.P.

Comedian, actor, gymnast, boxer, musician, navy man and the list is endless. Imagine having Sir Norm as a dad eh?. I'm fortunate to live and walk my dog in areas where his films were filmed and have great conversations with people pointing out areas from scenes from his classic movies. My favourite point is the path where he does the walk for the silver cup to buy Jimmy a car in the Orphanage movie, he walks down the path where he paints the No. on the wall and transfers it to his vest. That walk, path is where they also filmed The Wombles with Bonnie Langford and her house is in the background. Will always be remembered and you can see he inspired the likes of Lee Evans and Bradley Walsh amongst big names to become comedians/actors. A legend Norm - Up in the World looking down on us all.

He was outstanding, at one point he was hitting soft white rubber balls into the audience with a tennis racket, the kids just went mad for it. Such a talented musician; comedian; singer and entertainer. Sadly missed!
