  • Comedian and magician, Tommy Cooper entertains Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh at the Variety Lunch in Edinburgh.
    The Duke of Edinburgh was the Queen's long-term husband until his recent passing on the 9th of April this year, just weeks before his 100th birthday, the 10th June.
    Tommy Cooper was an incredibly popular performer, known for his comically unsuccessful magic tricks.
    He was born on the 19th March 1921 in Caerphilly, Wales, and tragically passed away of a heart attack on stage at Her Majesty's Theatre, Westminster, London on the 15th April 1984.

      It needs a lot of cleaning up, but now would be the ideal time to do that, right?

    Absolutely magical. Brought tears to my eyes. Tommy cracking up Prince Philip was a delight to watch. Proper belly laughs too. Damn but I really do hate being old and disabled. It's good to write it here, so that any of you young people who come across this film, can reflect upon what true comedy is about. The business of helping other people have a good time. Sorry for rambling on, I always get told off for writing too much by the home help. (...and I use the last word of the previous sentence with irony!)
