Val Doonican - fallen off his stool

Veteran crooner Val Doonican has died at the age of 88.

A mainstay and stalwart of Saturday night television back in the day.

Not like the nonsense and telephone-voting obsessed tosh we get today.

- A genuine entertainer, RIP.

(When I was seven, I had a jumper like he's wearing, but mine was brown)

Rocking chair and jumpers,obviously.

Still got a very old 45 of him singing Paddy Mcginty's goat!!Very funny.

Another talented entertainer sadly gone..... I remember his shows fondly. Good family entertainment. R.I.P.

Yet another great singer leaves us, there's not many left fron the era of great crooners..Tony Bennett, Vic Damone are two still around, there a dying breed..

Val was very popular when i was a child, not flashy like the rest of them but a fine voice

R.I.P.

I enjoyed his funny songs like 'Paddy McGinty's Goat'

This for the benefit of the youngsters on here have never heard it.

This one is probably more well known

Did he sing a song about a donkey too
