ive just read on the bbc news site that frank carson has died

Northern Irish comedian Frank Carson, who was best known for the catch phrases "It's a cracker" and "It's the way I tell 'em", has died aged 85.

Carson had suffered from poor health and his family said he passed away at his home in Blackpool, Lancashire.

The Belfast-born comic rose to fame in the 1960s after winning talent show Opportunity Knocks three times. The Comedians was among his TV shows.

Friend Eamonn Holmes said: "We will never ever see his likes again."

I remember watching him on the TV as a teenager in the 70s.
He was so funny and my late Dad loved him.
