Sad to hear of Bert Newton’s passing. He was a wonderful personality and we will never seen his like again on our screens with the fabulous Variety shows of the fifties to present day. Such names as Graham Kennedy, Don Lane and Bert go together to make a ‘classy act’ – and made viewing compulsive. He had a most fitting Funeral Service for one of our BEST and my sympathy goes out to his family and friends. Bert is now with his mates – Don and Graham – the Three Amigos.
