Sir Billy Connolly has hit a huge milestone as he turns 80 today after the Big Yin's hilarious patter and incredible one-liners have had us belly-laughing for decades.
Comic, actor, artist and much-loved superstar who has fans across the globe, Billy has inspired dozens of famous faces to try their hand at stand-up.
Earlier this year, he was honoured for an incredible career spanning more than 50 years with a BAFTA Fellowship. Sir Billy, who was knighted in 2017, was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2013 and retired from performing five years later, but has continued to record shows and appear on TV.
