I liked Paul, always appeared a genuine and caring guy, except when he was Lilly Savage. RIP Paul

    Used to see him all the time around Shad Thames where he used to live. Usually walking a dog. He was always getting approached and stopped by the public but never seemed to get annoyed by it or ignore people. Would always have a smile and quick chat. Seemed a decent bloke and pretty funny.

    Very sad. Liked him as a presenter and found Lily Savage very funny.

    Weird how someone who has had 3 heart attacks in the last 20 years, kidney failure 5 years ago and was a heavy smoker and drinker for most of his life can still come across as a shock when they pass. 

    Somehow it does though.

    When I woke up, picked my phone up and saw the BBC news alert, first thing I thought of was this.  An image of him made entirely out of Jelly Beans at Albert Dock in Liverpool.  Arguably one of Birkenhead's greatest sons, according to my brother who lives in Birkenhead now.  RIP Paul.

    What a legend, came across as genuinely lovely on the radio and Lily reminds me of a simpler time where people weren’t bent out of shape about drag queens appearing on television. 
    RIP.

    Very sad - he loved animals, particularly dogs, so he ticked the box for me for that alone - always enjoyed watching and listening to him, and he came across as a very sincere and kind man, with a wicked sense of humour - when he spoke to the dogs on his Battersea TV show, always brought a smile to my face

     RIP

    He was a funny chap, happened to speak with him outside waitrose in hythe after some kids were trying to be funny...I said to him that he must get tired of comments like that and he said as deadpan as anything that 'contraception is a wonderful thing'!  Brilliant

    By the way he was always impeccably dressed whenever we saw him. 

    Rip.
