Actress Dame Patricia Routledge, aka Mrs Bucket has died. She was an incredible actress who brought many laughs to me over the years. I think we should all have a candlelight supper in her honour. RIP beautiful lady 🤍

Thora Hird's performance in Alan Bennett's Talking Heads is always singled out, and quite right too. But Patricia Routledge's performance as Irene Ruddock in A Lady of Letters breaks your heart. I've never forgotten this scene. Patricia was an incredible dramatic actress.

Privileged to pay a small tribute to a great lady on ⁦The World at One⁩ just now - Dame Patricia Routledge was a remarkable actress because she was a remarkable person - decent, strong, independent, highly intelligent - a mistress of her craft. And a what a singer!

RIP Dame Patricia Routledge 😥 I posted this back in May and it went down a storm, both with those who remembered Kitty from Victoria Wood on TV and those who were new to the character. As sad as it is to lose somebody as talented and, dare I say as iconic as Dame Patricia

A fantastic day 29 years ago, alas my lovely Brian died in 2011. I’m really not looking for replies I just want to mark the day and what a wonderful man he was. Everyone but myself are too busy to remember nowadays. X

I absolutely adore this picture of my baby ❤️ It was taken on our way down to Wembley when Brad was mascot. That was such a special day filled with so much pride. He’s always loved going on the train, so when he got the chance to sit in the driver’s seat, He was over the moon 🚆

Five years ago, we lost you Bob. Still miss your laugh, your daft jokes, your funny bones. You weren’t just a comic—you were my brother. I know you’re watching. I hope I’m making you proud. Everything I do is for us. ❤️
