Paul O’Grady

Gosh, he has passed away very young. A true champion for animals. A varied career, I enjoyed his Lily Savage alter ego, took no prisoners,  I suspect some nowadays will hardly recall this part of his career, but it was as interesting and committed as the rest of it. RIP.

Very shocked to hear this news this morning. So many lovely tributes already from those who knew him. Rest in Peace.

2nd very surprising sudden death I've heard of in 7 days. The other sons friend in early 40's. Life is very precious!

When away in the van we always use to listen to his Sunday afternoon show. funny and full of nostalgia. RIP Paul

Another shocked one here. It wasn’t long ago I was in a group wondering if another Battersea series was in the can, it was a treat watching his style🤷🏻‍♂️. The Dog whisperer-He will be sorely missed.

+1, Rocky.

He will forever be linked in my mind to Battersea dogs home. His natural empathy with the dogs was pure joy to watch.

Another very shocked and saddened person here too.  He was such a lovely kind person.  RIP Paul. 

When you look at some of the weasels and cronies that surround us in Public Life you wish there were more people like Paul O'Grady in the world and less of some of the others.

A true campaigner for Dogs and the LBGT+ community.

"Shocking" is a word all too often used for this sort of news but truly fitting in Paul O'Grady's case. Not sure of the cause of death but we certainly had no inkling of any illness. A truly kind and caring person, never afraid to share a joke at his own expense, can't imagine a bad word being said about him. He will be sadly missed not least because of his campaigning work for Battersea Dogs home.

RIP Paul O'Grady.

I read that he had heart problems but must have been another real trouper going on tour with "Annie," another sad  loss.

Fully agree with the comments on here today,  Yet another fine entertainer and A True Animal Lover  (Well Dogs at least although Battersea does its bit for dogs AND Cats   )
