Tattyfilarious tea for Sir
Ken Dodd!
THE Squire of Knotty Ash is to be
honoured with a special civic lunch, at Liverpool Town Hall, on his 90th
Birthday.
On Wednesday, 8 November 2017, Sir Ken Dodd, who is a Freeman of the City, will be treated
to a rendition of his famous hit 'Happiness' by pupils from Knotty Ash Primary
School, and children from Trinity Primary School will entertain him with their
favourite jokes. A special Doddy themed afternoon tea will be served; including
sandwiches, made fresh from the Jam Butty Mines and Diddy Pies! Sir Ken will
also be presented with a giant Birthday card filled with goodwill messages from
local people; simply
email and
put "Ken Dodd" in the subject line, by Tuesday, 7 November 2017.
Lord Mayor, Councillor Malcolm Kennedy, said:- "To borrow a line from Sir
Ken, how tickled we are to be honouring him on the very special occasion of his
90th Birthday. He has been entertaining the nation for an incredible 65 years,
and while other people of his vintage are now putting their feet up, he is still
performing across the country with an energy and enthusiasm that is truly age
defying. He is the 'King of Comedy' and the 'Master of Mirth,' a 1 off national
treasure, the likes of which we have never seen before, and never will again. It
is right and proper that we thank him for a lifetime of making people laugh."
Sir Ken is proud to be honoured with a civic lunch on his 90th Birthday in his
home City. He said:- "I have travelled all over the world, but I have yet
to visit any place to compare with Merseyside. It has such a rich diversity of
creative talents in music, the arts and especially humour. The people are
blessed with kindness, generosity and tremendous energy and drive."
