Really saddened and shocked to hear this news.
He seemed like such a decent and genuine guy and of course, his love and passion for dogs was so lovely.

Absolute legend
I don't think there's anything he ever did I didn't enjoy and any show he appeared on he would always light up the room.

He was such a funny character. We often travel to/from the west country and would listen to his radio 2 show on a Sunday afternoon on the way home, always in stitches! He did a lot for animal charities too, a genuine good person

Nice guy all round, Sounds like he did well to last as long as he did with all his health problems. RIP

It's very rare there is an RIP and there's a universal love of the person.
Even my rough Biker mates are pouring the praise on him on Social Media.

Agreed. So rare to see someone who means so much such a wide audience. i think it’s testament to how sincere, genuine Paul came across whilst having one of the sharpest quickest wits out there!
He’ll be missed.

RIP Paul. Watched this morning this - his tribute to Cilla Black at her funeral https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I5ihZE53hW8 brought a tear to my eye. Hopefully he is reunited with Cilla up in heaven.

I'm very drag-sceptic (I blame it on Danny la Rue and Dick Emery), so never paid much attention to his Lily era stuff. But after he'd given that up and I got to know and enjoy him through the Radio2 show a lot better, I belatedly realised he was a comic genius.
RIP Paul.
