Norman Wisdom dies aged 95.
Another great comic actor has now taken the final curtain call, Sir Norman Wisdom died on Monday evening at a nursing home on the Isle of Man after suffering a series of strokes in recent months.
Norman Wisdom rose to stardom with a string of hits in the 1950s and 1960s, such as "Trouble in Store" and "A Stitch in Time", which usually involved his cheery character Pitkin as an underdog battling adversity. Wisdom also sang, danced and played musical instruments, but it was his comedy that won the hearts of millions. He went on to appear in 19 films and numerous television comedy series. He was honoured with a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II.
A sad day indeed.
