RIP Liz. Will there be a state Funeral? Vera was related to Royalty.

Retired through ill health (emphysemia) 10 years ago, so it looks as if the old girl put up a good fight. Still, 78 is not that great an age these days. Anyway, RIP Liz.

Minute's silence at Old Trafford on Saturday then.

United fans will fondly remember a Mancunian television legend, whilst the travelling Palace support will salute a lady who brought stone cladding into the mainstream.

It was seeing the effects of emphysemia on a once strong and healthy friend of my parents that made me give up smoking. Ten years of fighting that would be very grim.RIP

Have you never watched Coronation Street? Based in Weatherfield, that fictional part of Manchester? Filmed at Granada Studios for much of its existence?

Always thought she was great on Corrie. RIP

Just Google Vince St Clair. Aka Jack Duckworth

 

[The Wookiee]

I am sure I read somewhere last week that she died ??

Vera and Jack Duckworth are arguably the best comedy wife and husband ever on Corrie.

So impressed that the hierarchy at cricket named a method after them along with Lewis to make it sound posher.

RIP Liz Dawn.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Jack and Vera Duckworth were one of the funniest fictional husband and wife combos in British TV. RIP Liz Dawn.

Jack and Vera Duckworth were one of the funniest fictional husband and wife combos in British TV. RIP Liz Dawn.

They were, funny and very believable. In fact they always reminded me of my grandparents and I'm sure a lot of other people felt the same. They were of a time and generation.
