Rashid Ebrahimkhan, manager of the home, told reporters: “He still had his sense of humour, very much so. He was very resilient until the last.”

Never new he was living amongst us! Ahhh I love u butler!!
So sad. One of my favourite shows 😞 xx
If I had only known that he lived there earlier I would have visited him often! He was so funny on the box.
It’s such a shame, There’s so much to learn from our elders and we never take time to slow down and listen. Another small national treasure lost forever.
May all his heavenly buses come at the same time or should i say 24 by 7 as TFL are proposing. Rest in peace.
Love blakey x
A god in our midst , I too wish I had known earlier.
Respect.
