Tributes pour in for legendary king of drag

FROM Barbara Windsor to Bruce Forsyth, television’s greats last night paid tribute to Corkman Danny La Rue, the man they called a “a true show business legend”.

La Rue, whose career spanned some 60 years, died peacefully in his sleep just before midnight on Sunday after a short illness, his spokeswoman said.

The 81-year-old star of stage and screen, once described by Bob Hope as “the most glamorous woman in the world”, had been battling cancer.
