Friends and fans say ‘goodnight’ to comedy great Ronnie Corbett

Friends and fans of Ronnie Corbett, the diminutive titan of British comedy, have said “goodnight” to the star for the last time after his death at the age of 85.

One of the nation’s best-loved entertainers, Corbett’s career spanned six decades.

He was most cherished for his partnership with Ronnie Barker in the BBC sketch show The Two Ronnies, the pair bringing laughter to millions in the 1970s and 80s with their skits, comedy songs and ‘news’ bulletins.
