A man with a giant heart, god bless his soul ❤
So sad to hear of Paul's passing, a man who was kind to humans & animals alike, he was a very entertaining man without using bad language or being unkind to others. The fact the animals loved him in the Battersea Dogs series spoke volumes as I believe dogs can tell straight away if a human is friendly or not. Will miss him, thanks for all the laughs Paul (&sometimes tears). Thoughts with Andre, x
He was such a great man, RIP Paul from a huge fan in Canada. Condolences to his husband, family & legions of fans.

So so sad! He will be greatly missed
I brought a book 'At my Mothers knee and other creakly bits' by someone called Paul O'Grady, i had never heard of him here in NZ i liked the title so i read it and I was hooked! I have read every book by Paul they are Brilliant and i have read them many times Paul can certainly tell a good story. Paul will be sadly missed by so many, he was a Great Entertainer and a very Funny Guy. Condolences to Pauls Family and Friends. Rest in Love Paul ❤
Gutted to hear that Paul has passed. He was wonderful and a true performer. I loved the work he did for animals and Battersea. What a true inspiration. You will be missed by so many Paul.
RIP. Be with Buster now. ❤❤❤
Not just a brillant entertainer, tv presenter, Paul was such a caring great person. He will be really missed to all who really knew him, and to most of us who appreciated his tv presence..RIP Mr O'Grady..👏👏

Rip Paul O'Grady your pain and suffering is over. I will miss you as I will, with respect and many thanks for Lilly and for Battersea.
For your humour and the rest.
Don't think there's anyone who didn't love this guy to bits.
That was a beautiful tribute to Paul made me cry he will be truly missed much love from Belfast ni 😢❤
When you wonder why we in the US haven't changed laws to protect our children from gun violence, it's because too many people are trying to keep gentle souls like him out of sight from acts like his. So sorry for your loss.
Rip. I loved him, what a great entertainer
Bless you Paul, loved everything you did .
Rest in piece Paul o Grady

He smoked 40 cigs a day at a time when we humans didn’t know how bad smoking was for us. He could have easily lived another 10 or 15 years. The world will miss you Paul. R.I.P

I am heartbroken to hear the sad news about Paul O'Grady l feel like I l have lost a good friend. He will be sadly missed. I bet he is already causing havoc in heaven with Cilla and his beloved dogs. You will always be in my thoughts. God Bless ❤ 😘 Karen Hamer 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🐶
Such a compassionate man regarding animals. You could tell he loved them. Shouldn't have pushed those injections though. More and more evidence emerging. Strange how loads of stars, fit healthy athletes and teenagers/young adults are dropping down dead "suddenly". Three thousand a week excess deaths from all cause mortality, yet they aren't flashing those figures up on TV/media like they did during 2020. Wonder why that is!!! 🤔
He had three massive heart attacks in 20022, 2006 and 2014. I loved the man, but he was on borrowed time due to this heart. This was never a sudden thing, he wasn't fit and healthy - your conspiracy in this case is entirely wrong.
People are dying suddenly of heart attack every day including children, so we will never know, will we?
@Rachel Hale this misinformed & disrespectful individual has been posting the same nonsense on other videos. I dread to think how they would behave at a funeral!🙄 R.I.P. Paul🌈
Rip ❤ 😢
Il miss him. ❤
RIP Paul.
Paul should’ve been Knighted! 💯 Anyone agree with me ?
He could very well already have been asked. Being a staunch republican though, I'd imagine he'd have quietly turned it down.
God bless you Paul O Grady ackar l lily savage R . I .p you beautiful soul
Fly high with the Angels 🌈 ❤️ 🌹 ✨ beautiful person
Taken too soon. God Bless. X
Cant believe he has died
* Can't *
Old school scouse💙
Goodnight and God bless you are going to be big miss
rip
Jesus christ is coming back soon AMEN AMEN AMEN ..... REACHING THE UNREACHED.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
1 Thessalonians 4:16
You will not be able to miss Jesus’ return. There will be a three-fold announcement: Jesus is going to shout from heaven, and all those who belong to Him will hear His voice. The voice of an archangel will be heard announcing to every creature the King of glory has now come to claim His possession, and the trumpet will sound so clearly and with such force that the dead in Christ will be awakened.
In this passage are three precious promises. First, the dead in Christ shall rise - our loved ones who have preceded us in Christ will be included in this day of all days. Next, those who are alive will meet the Lord in the air, a face to face reunion with Jesus and all those most dear to us. Lastly, we shall always be with our Savior.
The day of His coming is more precious with each passing moment. Look up! Your redemption is drawing near. Listen! One day the air will be filled with that glorious announcement: Jesus is here Amen
I don't get why so many people liked this man. He described people he disagreed with as "absolutely disgusting" and was not remotely funny. Nothing to see here.
I dressed as Lily in school when i was 13 and won the top award of £5, thank you paul!.
We've lost a national treasure. Cheers, mate.
His best moment was about a week ago
The ending to this was perfect him on the radio,/
BBC were a disgrace Letting Paul go . Missed very much by all in the uk . Ambassador of dogs❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🐾🐾🐾😊
RIP O'Grady. I never liked you but RIP.
