Tommy Cannon, Bobby Ball’s comedy partner of six decades fought back tears at the comic’s funeral following the entertainer’s death at Blackpool Victoria Hospital aged 76, just weeks after a positive coronavirus test.
Fans lined the street outside Hope Church in Lytham, to pay their final respects to the Cannon & Ball star. A restricted number of mourners wearing red braces – a nod to Ball’s trademark twang of his braces while saying: ‘Rock on, Tommy’ – congregated outside the church to honour the much loved British entertainer.
