I like how he built a successful career by mocking himself

A great all round entertainer and host

He was such a good man. Fun personality , great sense of humour, self depreciating all round entertainer , in the Brucie mold if you like.

He did become old hat in the later years tho but that's mainly because he was old hat...

R.I.P. Des.

I didnt realize he was 88. I know he had a son very late in life. I really used to enjoy his shows

"The Morecambe and Wise thing was very funny. "

Beat me to it, they would mercilessly mock his singing and he was such a good sport about it.

A handsome (and he was a good singer) man with humour and humility, no scandalous stories about him, either.

RIP Des

What a sad day for entertainment, he was a true gent and gave pleasure to millions (no pun intended).

I saw him on stage in Scarborough over forty years ago,one of those sea side variety shows, seem to remember it was a packed house,he was very popular back then.

Got a text from a friend saying he'd died and it had come from his agent but I hadn't personally seen it myself, I have now.
