Legendary comedian, singer-songwriter and actor Sir Ken Dodd has passed away at the age of 90.
The Liverpool born comedian had recently been released from hospital after being treated for a chest infection. He married his partner Anne Jones last week but sadly passed away on Mother’s Day.
Ken was knighted last year in the 2017 New Year Honours for his services to entertainment and charity.
His publicist Richard Holmes said, “To my mind, he was one of the last music hall greats.
“He passed away in the home that he was born in over 90 years ago. He’s never lived anywhere else. It’s absolutely amazing.
