Subject: Sir Ken Dodd: Comedy legend dies, aged 90
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/13/18 at 1:27 am
Sir Ken Dodd, creator of the Diddy Men and one of the most popular comedians of his time, has died aged 90. The Liverpool legend had recently been released from hospital after six weeks of treatment for a chest infection. On Friday, he had married Anne Jones, his partner of 40 years, at their house, the same one he grew up in, in the Liverpool suburb of Knotty Ash. Lady Dodd described him as "a most life-enhancing, brilliant, creative comedian". Speaking outside their home, she said Sir Ken "just wanted to make people happy".

Thousands of fans of Sir Ken Dodd have joined friends and family to say a final "tatty bye" to the comedy legend at his funeral in Liverpool. Some waved his trademark tickling sticks in the air at the end of the service at the Anglican cathedral. There was also a rousing round of applause as his coffin was carried out to the strains of his song Happiness. Children dressed as his colourful Diddymen characters followed the coffin out of the packed cathedral.
