Eric Sykes has passed away, aged 89.

To be perfectly honest, I didn't realise he was still alive....but his work was synonymous with my growing up in the 60's and 70's.
He was never off the telly.

I remember the colour tv series of Sykes with Hattie Jacques as a staple part of my childhood. Thanks for the laughs, Eric.
