It's reported that Frank Carson's funeral has been held in Belfast.
Carson was, without doubt, one of the funniest comedians of his age. If memory serves, he first came to the notice of a wider audience in 'Opportunity Knocks' and was then a regular in the 1970s series of stand-up comedy spots, 'The Comedians', a show that also launched the careers of many others; it was a show that was a 'must' in our house and Carson stood held and shoulders above most of the other performers.
His broad accent suited his style to a tee; his catch phrases, "It's the way I tell 'em" and "What a cracker", have almost become common language. His comedic talent was brilliant.
Frank Carson brought laughter to millions and he will surely be missed by as many, and more.
