Paul O'Grady's friend Linda Thorson was visibly upset on Good Morning Britain as she paid tribute to her late friend.
Opening up to Adil Ray and Susanna Reid on the breakfast show, the former Avenhers star began: "He would have tea with the Queen. She liked him a lot, he would go and they would have a really nice time and a chat and then he'd have the postman to dinner.
"The house in Kent people came in and house, Christmas there was divine. We would just love, generous, food, he'd make these fabulous omelettes and play music."
