Such a surprise to wake up to. He seemed a lovely man, and his love of animals shone through which was really heart-warming.
RIP Paul.

I will miss his lovely programs with the animals. Wish I could have met him.

How sad. He seemed such a nice man. I believe he suffered with poor health over the years. RIP Paul.

Such sad news a genuine person who loved life and a heart of gold 💐

Very sad news. He'll be missed so much.

Sad news. I echo all that’s been said above.

RIP, Paul..

We here on Merseyside have lost another one of our great exports in Paul O'Grady such a lovely man.RIP Paul may you fly high.

Absolutely shocked and very,very sad.. R.I.P you special man..💐💐💐💐

Very upset to learn he's died. His larger than life personality and big heart which was most evident when he was working with animals. RIP.

Paul was favourite of mine too, all through his career. Lily Savage was a great character but Paul's work with and for animals was his greatest strength. He will be missed by Battersea especially. RIP Paul.

So sorry to hear of his passing. He always had the most warming smile and wicked sense of humour. Silent are the days that follow......

Our loss. I found him such a tonic. Funny, sincere, fearless. Quite an epitaph. So pleased his departure was peaceful.

I didn't 'get him' at first- but his love and passion for rescuing animals shone through. Very sad.

He was a legend, what a sad start to the day. RIP lovely man 🌹

I’m so sorry to hear about his death, he seemed a genuinely lovely man.

It is saddening,poor Paul. Love to his daughter, partner and wider family

Very sad. He always came across as such a lovely man and his love for dogs shone through.
