Syd Little joins mourners for Eddie Large’s funeral
Hundreds lined the streets of Portishead to say goodbye to the Little And Large comedian.
Hundreds of mourners have lined the streets to pay their respects to comedy great Eddie Large.
Members of the public carefully followed social distancing guidelines to applaud as the hearse carrying the comedian’s coffin drove down Portishead High Street to South Bristol Crematorium.
A large spray of flowers – in white and blue in a nod to his love of Manchester City FC – adorned his coffin.
They were among just 10 family and close friends allowed to attend the service due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Large, who was born in Glasgow but grew up in Manchester, formed his double act with Little in 1963.
The pair went on to win Opportunity Knocks and appeared regularly on TV for the next 20 years.
Their prime-time BBC One series The Little And Large Show attracted audiences of almost 15 million before it was axed in 1991.
In 2010, Large, who was famous for interrupting his co-star, revealed he had not spoken to Little for some time.
