Non - Paul O’Grady

[Sorry Roger]

Shocked to hear he has died suddenly. Seemed a lovely guy. I appreciated the work he did to promote animal welfare and rescue centres. RIP.

Really shocked to read this thread. Remember back in late 90s going up to Blackpool. Lily Savage was playing the North Pier for season. Was absolutely hilarious. His side kick was Sonia. Brilliant evening. RIP

Big shame, loved him on the dog shows and a great ambassador for Battersea. RIP

67 no age

Loved dogs=proper bloke

 

[wellsworld]

admire anyone who loves dogs that much, and consistently spoke out against tory policies, particularly austerity cuts to the poor & those without so much of a voice in society. seemed like a very decent chap.

 

[New Old Cherry]

Very kind and humble soul with great wit..a great entertainer and a great friend of animals.
This bloke just oozed compassion for whoever and whatever needed it wherever he was.
Never met him or seen him perform live but heard a few stories from some that had...RIP

 

[billythekid]

Great sense of humour and loved his animals.

RIP

 

[zigger zaggar]

The term national treasure is much overused but I think it could apply to him.
Very sudden.
RIP

My dog loved his Battersea Cats and Dogs Home shows, although she did think that his name was Paul O'Gravy, so maybe that had something to do with it !

Anyway, as others have mentioned, anyone who has so much compassion for animals is clearly one of the better human beings on this rock of ours.
RIP Paul and thanks for your contribution, you made a difference !

LOL. Is it the taming a wild animal that makes a 'proper bloke'

Caring for animals shows humanity in its best light

Agree. Animal killers often move onto people...

Yes indeed, sign of psychopathy

Gone off subject here I think.

 

[afcb_rednblack]

A very kind hearted man by all accounts and not afraid to speak his mind against injustice.

Had the pleasure of seeing him and Julian Clary in pantomime together at the Palladium a few times over recent years, nothing but laughter for two plus hours.

Very sad, 67 is no age. RIP
