Sir Ken Dodd's widow says she's incredibly touched - after receiving a book of condolence in his memory.

It was opened at Liverpool Town Hall after her husband's death in March - and has more than 800 tributes from members of the public.

Lady Ann - who married the comedian just before he passed away - has been given the book by Lord Mayor Malcolm Kennedy this afternoon.

"It's just quite incredible because it really is the memories of literally hundreds of people in Liverpool, who - if I may use the word - who loved him. There is tremendous affection, love, admiration" she told us.

"I thought it would make me sad, but it doesn't. It makes you remember the wonderful person he was. I thought...only I knew. But, other people knew as well. You shared him, and, I've shared him. I was so lucky to have the time that I did with him.

"I want to keep the memories going with this sort of thing."
