The late great Tommy Cooper

[Mamaswan]

Just read a funny story about this wonderful clown. I do hope its true.

Setting was the end of Royal Variety show celeb line up to be presented to the late Queen.

She arrives at Tommy.

HRH: Well done on your performance.
Tommy: Thank you Ma'am. Can I ask you a personal question?
HRH: You can try.
Tommy: Do you like football?
HRH: Not really.
Tommy: Can I have your cup final tickets?

HRH and the Duke burst out laughing.

He was a one off. Just like that.

Me too pal. I can kind of hear him saying it. Great character.
