RIP Paul O’Grady

Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage by Trevor Leighton

You were the dazzling Lily Savage.

You were a husband, a father and a grandfather.

You had the purest love for your dogs.

And you were an inspiration for a generation of baby gays across the world.

RIP Paul O'Grady.

Sleep well.

RIP Paul O'Grady

It's heart-breaking. I grew up watching this man take cracks at our shitty right-wing governments, treat dogs and humans alike with so much kindness, and make British drag something to be proud of.

He was a really special man, and he did so much for the Queer community in Britain, and so much for all the people whose lives he touched.

My thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends.

Give 'em hell, Lil.

Did you know the audience of 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒐𝒈𝒔, which was hosted by 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗢'𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘆 (may he rest in peace 🙏🏻) is "asking" on social media for 𝗧𝗼𝗺 to replace him? 😯

Don't missread it, he is irreplaceable. What they mean is that they want him to take over, you know what I mean 😅

In my opinion, it would be great, since he loves dogs 💖 And we would also see more of him 😏

⠀⠀⠀⠀

¿Sabías que la audiencia de 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒐𝒈𝒔, que lo llevaba 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗢'𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘆 (que en paz descanse 🙏🏻) está "pidiendo" por redes sociales que 𝗧𝗼𝗺 lo sustituya? 😯

No lo malinterpretéis, es insustituible. Lo que quieren decir es que sea él quien tome el relevo, ya me entendéis 😅

En mi opinión estaría genial, con lo que él ama los perros 💖 Y además le veríamos más 😏

britain is great because sometimes people will be angrier that alison hammond is presenting a TV show about dogs than they are about 99% of the other stuff that goes on in this country on a daily basis

Every version of the Doctor - 241

Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage as the Doctor

The late, great O'Grady on The Lily Savage Show in 1997, sharing an adventure with companion Gayle Tuesday (no relation to Ruby Sunday, so far as we know). In this adventure, the Doctor and Gayle visited the twin planets of Gonad.

Not pictured: their robot dog K-Y.

DS Ted Roach + Roxanne in 'Information Received', The Bill (ITV, 1990).

It's funny : my Facebook this morning is just wall-to-wall mourning for Paul O'Grady, and Tumblr has barely noticed. Different demographic, I guess.

RIP to a presenter, entertainer, dog rescue icon, LGBT+ voice, social worker and drag queen. What a lot of good you did. We're going to miss you.

Non royal related but RIP Barry Humphries

Yeah, I don't want to make it a Thing because people died. But it's been weird seeing Paul O'Grady and Barry Humphries dying so close together and the right wing press like the Daily Mail mourn the loss when they've spent the last few months (not very successfully) trying to push the US's anti-drag narrative here. Especially the idea drag is dangerous to children. Drag - and drag aimed specifically at children - is a completely normal, integral part of British culture and always has been. I grew up watching Dame Edna (who wasn't British but was huuuuge here) and Lily Savage on TV in the 90s and they brought together generations. They made my judgemental religious grandmother and my conservative grandfather laugh as much as they made me laugh. It's bonkers to see some wings of society mourn that loss and recognise the place of drag in the UK while simultaneously backing protestors who think drag queens shouldn't be allowed near kids.

Paul 'Lily Savage' O'Grady RIP
