Thank you for sharing your story. It warmed my heart. Shows what a good man he was. Your mam must have been so grateful to him and he gave her a lovely memory made me smile when he called her Cocker, that used to tickle me when I was little. Xx

Absolute legend. My childhood memories laughing along with my dearly missed parents at Cannon and Ball on TV , they were hilarious. Thanks for the laughs... RIP..

That was really touching to see the applause for a man who gave us so much laughter and cheer over the years. Rest in peace Bobby Ball.

Marvellous footage of all that you captured!.Bobby would have be proud of you!.

A big part of my childhood and early teens...make em laugh in heaven like you did me ...R.I.P. Bobby Ball...one of the greatest...when the world had humour...

I remember going to Blackpool with my mam and best friend. We saw cannon and ball, absolutely amazing. R.I.P. Bobby, thank you for the memories you have left us. Genius. X

Thank you you've allowed me to pay my respects in a special way, R.I.P. Bobby "I'm Fillin Up Now Tommy!" x

You take it for granted and think they'll be around forever - but the day always comes around when they're not. And then you realize just how short time is here.

I went to Waterloo 79-85 and remember Bobby and Tommy opening the fair very well...I shouted "Rock on Tommy" and Bobby said "Hey, thats my line!" and stuck his tongue out at me....lovely to see school xx rest well Bobby xx

Stan & Ollie, Eric n Ernie, Tommy & Bobby are my 3 favourite double acts of ALL time, i saw Cannon and Ball 14 times over the years and enjoyed each show, R.I.P Bobby Ball.

Imagine how many people he made laugh during his life, in times where there wasn't a lot to laugh about, he had a gift and shared it with us all. Thanks Bobby.

Thanks so much For the video, excellent. Well done to the people of Blackpool for giving Bobby a good send off. Ive seen all the greats grace those wonderful theatres in Blackpool wonderful memories i'll treasure forever. These acts have never and will never be replaced we are coming to the end of an era and of REAL COMEDY. R I.P. BOBBY BALL.

Thank you Stephen for the video much appreciated. It made me feel as I've lost a member of my own family I even shed a tear when I watched the video and I'm 62 years old. Thanks again Stephen.

Thank you for covering this, we would have come up to Blackpool from Northampton if we hadn't been in lockdown to pay our respects. We were lucky enough to see them in their hey day and then again two years ago in Lowther Pavilion, so funny had us in stitches. Lovely epitaph is that everyone is saying what a nice man he was. RIP BOB - thanks again WOTWS

God bless you Bobby you were a real star and a gentleman, you will be so sadly missed by your millions of fans. Sympathies to all his many friends and family, such a shame he looked so well just recently.

I saw cannon and ball at Great Yarmouth in 1981 they were absolutely brilliant the timing was spot on,there is no talent like that now its all reality rubbish, RIP Bobby thanks for the laughs.

RIP Bobby Ball. My condolences to his family and friends. I feel it for Tommy Cannon. Losing his professional partner will be hurting him so much right now. In partnerships like that the one left behind really gets depressed but can't really tell anyone about it. I hope that his family realize that he needs support too

Thank-u fot coverage. X

LEGEND!!!!! RIP Bobby

So, so sad. I saw the procession in Lytham.

If it wasnt for lockdown thousands would have lined them streets......

I would just like to pay a little tribute to Bobby. I met him at the stage door at the Plymouth Pavilions in 1999. I chatted to him and Tommy for quite a while. They were just as natural as they were on stage. So friendly. Bobby was telling me about the house he had moved to in Todmorden just outside Rochdale where I am from. I will never forget that . RIP Bobby Rock On!

The tears are running down my face. I loved Cannon and Ball great act. Loved Bobby Rip

Thank you for filming this, thank you Bobby for the laughs you gave along with Tommy, ROCK ON

A true Gent , not many of us left. R.I.P Bobby.

A real star!

Well done on Bobby funeral and you did him proud

RIP Bobby, you will be greatly missed.

I was in the show Mount Pleasant with him. RIP.

Rip. Bobby thanks for making me cry laughing you are a superstar xxxxc

thank you... for the laughs bobby... and god be good to you... thanks stephen

Bobby was originally from Oldham like me. Before he moved to Blackpool. My dad moved to Blackpool in the late 1980s called Dave Rhodes. He passed away in 2002. I came to Blackpool for his funeral, Box Brothers were the funeral directors. Many happier memories of Blackpool, and your videos help to keep them alive, I'm watching from Oldham. Loving all your videos. Keep them coming. Thankyou so much! 😊👍
