I was thinking about him the other day and wondering if he was still us.

The world would be a better and a safer place if this was indeed correct.

It’s not too long since his Give Us a Clue rival partner Una Stubbs left us.

Sad.

Sleep well Lionel.

God gave us life...
And he also gave us Una Stubbs...
And he also gave us Lionel Blair...

With each year passing, there will be none left soon...

TV variety show stalwart. One of those who always seemed to be on the screen especially in the 1960s. RIP

He‘ll be tap dancing his way to the Pearly Gates!
Remember him in the Real Marigold hotel a few years ago along with, I think, Dennis Taylor.
Great entertainer
RIP Lionel
