Dog treats and flowers have been laid in tribute to Paul O’Grady outside the gates to his farm in a quiet Kent village as neighbours described him as “wonderful”. Residents of the country road in Adlington spoke of the “real loss” they felt at the 67-year-old TV personality’s unexpected death.
More than a dozen members of the public arrived to lay bouquets of flowers, and even a large bag of Pointer bone-shaped treats, on a misty Wednesday morning before the tributes were taken inside. One message, referring to his hit show Paul O’Grady: For The Love of Dogs, read: “Farewell Paul… and thanks for all the #PogDogs.”
Neighbour Fred Jaeger, who had known O’Grady since he moved to the area around 20 years ago, said: “He was a wonderful man, we were very fond of him. He was very entertaining and we shall miss him greatly.”
