Fabulous comedy actress.

My family all loved her!
What a brilliant "snob" she made in Hyacinth "Bouquet" Bucket :-D :-D

I know she did a lot more but it is as Hyacinth that many people will remember her.
Such a character!

It was just over two weeks ago that i read an interview of her and I was touched by this quote of hers.
"You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless. You only need to show up – fully – for the life that is still yours.” <3

A wonderful actress, and she had a lovely singing voice too. She always sang so badly as Hyacinth Bucket, but I always reckon you need to be able to sing / play an instrument well before you can do it badly. Yes, a great quote.

I had not realised that she was 96. Such a good comedienne. And actress.

My children grew up watching the re-runs on Sunday mornings. They loved it as much as I did.

Brilliant lady and what a great age
