Sad news indeed. This is Michael Palin's latest on him:

Terry J has been my close friend and workmate for over fifty years. The progress of his dementia has been painful to watch and the news announced yesterday that he has a type of aphasia which is gradually depriving him of the ability to speak is about the cruellest thing that could befall someone to whom words, ideas, arguments, jokes and stories were once the stuff of life. Not that Terry is out of circulation. He spends time with his family and only two days ago I met up with him for one of our regular meals at his local pub. Howard Johnson, an American friend of Python, was in town and took this picture. Terry doesn’t say very much but he smiles, laughs, recognises and responds, and I’m always pleased to see him. Long may that last.

Incredibly sad news.

Terry as Sir Bedivere in The Holy Grail lifting his visor every time he wanted to speak tickles me every time

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

Sad, sad, sad news.

I'm glad I got to see them all perform at the O2.

One of Terry Jones great abilities was to convey comedy without words.. I hope he is able to continue this for the sake of his love.. Making others laugh.

Terry doing what he did best-
