I really hope Bruce was a top fella off stage, on stage he was awesome, grew up watching him on tv, I thought he stood head and shoulders above other entertainers, up there with Morecombe and Wise and the two Ronnie's ,it's like another chapter of your childhood closing, thanks for making me laugh a plenty Brucie.
Met the man a few times, always the most modest and helpful of people, a true great in entertainment. My cover image of him for a modest internal event at the BBC. Sorry about the quality of the image....
Read on Facebook yesterday he once phoned the Charlton clubshop to buy a shirt for his gardener. They put him on loud speaker and was said to have all the staff in stitches
When you think of the way the world has changed let alone TV and entertainment for someone to have a career that covered such a long time its nothing short if remarkable, people come and go on TV now all the time, five mins of fame radio presenters used to become TV presenters now days its the other way Rd,
There wont ever be another brucie, someone who generations of familes have grown up with on the telly box,
Attenborough will now be the last TV personality I reckon who nans, mum/dad and kids all know of together as someone from the TV that they have all watched together of an evening

BBC just announced he's going to be the new presenter of The Regeneration Game. RIP
One would normally disapprove of a comment like that in a tribute thread but I can imagine Brucie having a bloody good laugh at that, I had a chuckle myself.

i made him a cup of tea back in the day when i was a saturday boy and he opened Tescos in Catford 1973 ...bless him, he lived a good life and brought pleasure to many
He should have been knighted back in about 1993 when he was in his mid 60's. It was when he had been in showbiz for 50 years. Back then everyone would have said it was richly deserved.
