Delaney's Donkey was always my favourite.

He was always on in my Nan's house, in B&W. Brings back memories of Beetroot and other equally weird associations.

First Wally Whyton, then Bert Weedon a couple of years ago, and now Val Doonican. TV guitar wielders all! Saturday night - with fish (sometimes chicken) and chips was the family routine...my sister and "hubster" used to cycle over for the evening and walk tall with the salt and vinegar. RIP him

His LP Val Doonican Rocks knocked Sgt Pepper off No 1.

Lovely V-neck. That's a really nice looking guit he's got there. Or had. Wonder if it's up for grabs?

....although Val Doonican Rocks is a bit of an oxymoron, sadly........

edit: I've just remembered his rocking chair. OK, I'll take that back

His rocking chair! Thanks for the reminder.

Find a better Val D jumper if you can.

Edit, quick google, there's loads...
