    A real shame, I think he was suffering badly from dementia too in his final years. RIP.

    To repeat what I said on my late post - Far too early. At least he can now tell Graham again that he was just a very naughty boy. R.I.P Terry

    Was fortunate enough to get to see the Python's at the O2 a few years ago and Jones was clearly struggling with his memory at the time but still performed all the Python greats superbly. RIP.

    RIP Terry Jones.
    From Do Not Adjust Your Set onwards, made me laugh.
    He’s probably up there arguing the toss with God about something, but he had been ill with some form of dementia for some time I believe, so this may be a welcome release for him.
    Thanks for all the laughs and silliness, Mr Jones you will be missed.

    One of the best. I saw Michael Palin speak recently and he spoke fondly of Terry.
    RIP, Terry.

    A comedy genius. Python forged my sense of humour as a young teenager, which has stayed with me throughout my life. Another hero gone.

    RIP Terry

    I once bumped into him at a largely empty botanical gardens in Brisbane. I found myself stood next to him looking at a parrot in an enclosure. It's one of my life's regrets that I never plucked up the courage to ask him if it we're a Norwegian Blue. (And yes, I know he wasn't involved it that sketch).

    RIP Terry.

    R.I.P. Thanks for every single laugh of which there were countless. Also, the power of comedy and learning to think for yourself. The Life of Brian had a profound effect on me in that respect. Brilliant man.

    R.I.P Terry. I can say with great affection that I worked with your boy Bill at Dubbs in the early 90's and he is a lovely lad. He certainly wasn't a "Very Naughty Boy"...

    Sadly suffered with frontotemporal dementia for the last few years which is a brutal condition. I hope he has found peace.

    A very funny man.

    How very very sad, made me laugh out loud so many times from the TV series of Monty Python that I grew up watching to the films - just pure brilliance! RIP Terry (aka Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson, Cardinal Biggles of the Spanish Inquisition and Mr Creosote) condolences to his wife, family and friends....god bless sir!!

    A sad day but one of God or the Morningstar will be getting his ear bent.
