Four candles

[RingoMcCartney]

There's a memorial service today for Ronnie Corbett.

They'll be 4 candles on the alter!

Touching but still making me smile at the same time.....

died 31/3/16


strange time for a memorial ?

just sayin'

[FactualFrank]

Memorial services generally take place up to a year after the funeral.

So are you just saying let's not have a memorial?

How important is it to you?

[Imploding Turtle]

Wouldn't it be nice to know why this specific date? What if there's an additional reason we're missing?

[lovebeingaclaret]

That important huh?

[evensteadiereddie]

It's goodnight from him....

[Imploding Turtle]

That important huh?

I've no idea what point you're trying to make, or why trying to understand the reasoning behind a certain date for a memorial is so objectionable.

My reply is Fork handles.

Quality. From 2 national treasures.

The sketch should be made part of the school curriculum!

[Burnley Ace]

I liked Rob Brydons speech. I would imagine that walking down the street with Ronnie Corbett you would just be confronted with a sea of smiling faces.

[Hipper]

I can't recall any other decent thing they did together.

There's half a dozen classics for a starter. For me, THE best comedy double of all time.

Was just reading the biography of the Two Ronnies, by Corbett. The final chapter was all about Ronnie B's funeral. A very touching and funny book about two very funny men.

You missed the Optician sketch. Split my sides.
And of course all those naff jokes from his chair but the lead ups were hilarious.
Loved the one about being ship wrecked after he got up and left the transatlantic flight because he had seen the inflight movie before

I've just watched the Two Ronnies' Mastermind sketch followed by Morecambe and Wise's followed by some Tommy Cooper sketches followed by lots of clips of Bradley Walsh wetting himself in various editions of The Chase. Another half an hour gone....
Damn you, youtube !

[Saxoman]

2 ronnies, far superior to Morecambe and wise.. Just sayin'..

[Grimsdale]

I heard at his memorial, Elton John sang Four Candles in the Wind.

[Saxoman]

Wasn't rindercella 2 ronnies? Too rude to broadcast.
