When he was taken out of the Savoy Hotel suite he lived in by an ambulance days before he died, he raised himself off the stretcher and shouted to the Savoy guests and diners...."Don't eat the food ". He played it right to the very end. A wonderful talented funny character.

Richard is so captivating. Such a natural raconteur and big personality. He is dearly missed.

Back when people deserved the title “Personalities.” Full of didn’t give a toss attitude but of a boyish charm that he never lost. An absolute legend!

He's delightful. Wit, charm, shyness, rage, romance and a raconteur.

They broke the mould after they made this wonderful man.

Imagine a night in the pub with Harris and Reed. Anything but dull. This reminds me if the fact that many people are actually quite dull these days.

Michael Parkinson was fantastic at interviewing 'wild' men. He understood and respected them, and they him. His upbringing in the mining community and time in the Army played a major part in this. He interviewed some of the most intimidating stars, stood his ground, showed respect and they loved him. Watch other interviewers with the same guests and compare the respect and depth of interviews, fantastic and a great miss. Xx

A genius - I met him in the westbury hotel Dublin dressed in his pyjamas having a pint - unapologetically himself …to the end.

He had such a young way about him. It seemed years behind him. A really charming, boyish way about him.

His performances were like this; full throttle with lots of energy. Best King Arthur EVER! The part t'was written for him. He could put over a song like nobody's business and convince you all of the way. Loved him so!
