Rest in peace Barry. You always made me laugh and smile

[natalieharris]

RIP Barry. You made so many of us forget our troubles and laugh out loud. You will be missed.

I honestly cried a bit at hearing of his passing. On the other hand, I nearly pissed myself watching his clips on YT in remembrance. That's the magic he made, turning one emotion into another for just a few minutes or so and making us forget the bad stuff we were going through so we could smile for a bit. You'll be sorely missed and not soon forgotten, thanks for the laughs and RIP, lad.

He's always been a national treasure in the UK. Much loved and respected. Very clever, loving and funny.

Gonna miss him so much. An absolute Australian icon, so happy the British loved him so much.

With Paul O'Grady a couple of weeks ago and now Barry leaving us, it's almost like losing four entertainers. Bless the pair of you and thanks for the years of laughter.
