It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Des O’Connor this morning. Des first performed on the Royal Variety Performance in 1966 and then numerous times after, many as our host. Not only this, but he was an ardent supporter of the Royal Variety Charity over many years and in 2015, he joined with Jimmy Tarbuck for a one-off show at the London Palladium to raise funds specifically for the Royal Variety Charity.
