Danny La Rue
Cross-dressing entertainer
So farewell
Then, Danny La Rue.
You were sort of
A former-day
Eddie Izzard.
But with
More songs.
Like many of the
Old timers
You lived
In these parts.
My dad
Once worked
With you at
The Winter Gardens.
Dad died
On that
Occasion.
Now you have
Too.

PS: Mr Eastcliff Senior was invited to a celebrity wedding in Great Yarmouth in 1977. D La R was giving away some old tug from Corrie or Crossroads or some such. Pater took along his super 8 camera, so here's a short clip from the Eastcliff home movie archive. It's silent. And, er, a bit shaky. But then showbiz and the DTs tend to go hand in hand like that. Danny's the one in the beige suit, not the orange dress, in case you're wondering.
