    Saw just a few minutes of a program on bbc1 tonight about him.
    Got a bit choked up if I'm honest.

    Everything has already been said.
    TV royalty.
    RIP

    I really hope Bruce was a top fella off stage, on stage he was awesome, grew up watching him on tv, I thought he stood head and shoulders above other entertainers, up there with Morecombe and Wise and the two Ronnie's ,it's like another chapter of your childhood closing, thanks for making me laugh a plenty Brucie.

    He was a legend. Grew up watching The Generation Game and he was a staple of Saturday night TV throughout my childhood.

    Also loved his cameo in Bedknobs and Broomsticks!

    RIP Brucie.

    Met the man a few times, always the most modest and helpful of people, a true great in entertainment. My cover image of him for a modest internal event at the BBC. Sorry about the quality of the image....

    Read on Facebook yesterday he once phoned the Charlton clubshop to buy a shirt for his gardener. They put him on loud speaker and was said to have all the staff in stitches

    When you think of the way the world has changed let alone TV and entertainment for someone to have a career that covered such a long time its nothing short if remarkable, people come and go on TV now all the time, five mins of fame radio presenters used to become TV presenters now days its the other way Rd,


    There wont ever be another brucie, someone who generations of familes have grown up with on the telly box,

    Attenborough will now be the last TV personality I reckon who nans, mum/dad and kids all know of together as someone from the TV that they have all watched together of an evening

    And that is really quite sad


    Rip brucie and thank you

    One would normally disapprove of a comment like that in a tribute thread but I can imagine Brucie having a bloody good laugh at that, I had a chuckle myself.

    Saw his slot at Glastonbury 4 or 5 years and it was so good!

    RIP you legend.

    I know he liked his golf but he batted way above his average.

    He should have been knighted back in about 1993 when he was in his mid 60's. It was when he had been in showbiz for 50 years. Back then everyone would have said it was richly deserved.

    Once again RIP Sir Bruce!

    As he was approaching the Pearly Gates he called out to St Peter 'Higher or lower?'.
