Sir Ken Dodd's Funeral 

Have a look at the photo link. There is a photo of the band Near the end

Thanks, although I must be really dense as I can't seem to find the photo link 😳

Apologies, i forgot to add it. its there now :)

What a honour. One your remember all your life.

How wonderful Linsey. Sir Ken sure had a good send off. Everyone did him proud. Wherever he is now, there will be Happiness! :)

Scouse people. Salt of the earth. None better! A compliment from a Yorkshireman! Lovely folk.

R.I.P SIR DODD

I agree. I did stay back and give respect but I think leaving his home for the last time was very important to capture. I did notice some running after him but that’s going to far.

moonlight shadow glad he got good send off

Rip 😭😭😭

I saw him at the London Palladium in the mid-60s. He had us all in hysterics!

Me too .

Hi, I created an account to make this reply, though I meant to join RU-vid at some point..... I was in the cortege and was sitting in one of the cars being filmed in the beginning of the video. I know for a flat fact that neither myself or any of the family or friends felt intruded upon. We know that press and fans can be intrusive, but the people of Liverpool know that also and the whole occasion and the grim weeks preceding it was marked by deep respect for Ken which we all felt most keenly. It was very moving to see the lines of people clapping as the cortege rolled along after the horse drawn hearse, we felt the love. Thank you to all who came, or wanted to come and also those who stayed away thinking it best to give the family space. This was both Ken's final journey and final public appearance, I know he would have wanted to share that with the people of Liverpool.

Nerdy Tom R.I.P Sir Ken Dodd, he'll always be in our hearts, also if you was family member or a friend of Sir Ken Dodd I'm sorry for your lose

Thank you for your kind words. As for my loss, I will miss Ken, but frankly it hasn't sunk in yet. Though to be fair he did so much in his life that while he fully intended to continue on had he recovered nobody can say he left anything undone or unsaid. His life was complete, I do not feel for a moment that his life was in any way wasted. Furthermore he had prepared his way forward, not that Ken showed any concern for his mortality, he was too busy living. Nevertheless Ken was very clear with regards to his Christian beliefs, which he put into practice, he was a genuinely humble and pious man and is now with his God, and knowing that takes the sting out of his passing.

Looking back, I think it actually did, which is rather appropriate, and as usual nobody minded much.

He always ran overtime because people loved him so much.

He outlived so many comedians around his age.

Don’t think there is one.

+paul frost I just wondered if you could do me a copy if possible. My parents and I are huge fans. And are gutted that we missed it. We just couldn't find it. Until we discovered it was on the other side. When we changed channel the funeral was over.

What channel was it on, i had sky news on but the sound went faulty. would like to see if its on catch up so i can see the service

+paul frost There is only about 2mins on Sky catch up. Channel 5 did the funeral. But there's no catch up available to C5 news

Thanx. I have a lot of footage from all the news feeds from the day on tv, sky, bbc, itv etc I just would of like the full service from inside.

i heard h was buried with him but am not 100% sure

As a form of respect, Debbie.

As they were providing the honour guard, the senior officer saluted.

It was the local Air Training Corps unit which Doddy had been supportive of.

Also he was a Knight of the realm and a freeman of the city of Liverpool

.. what makes YOU say THat Paul

a great service a man of fun and happyness i miss him so much please come back ken i no you will the diddynen were great too and the band play all his music they are great too
