Read our privacy policy Dog treats and flowers have been laid in tribute to Paul O’Grady outside the gates to his farm in a quiet Kent village, as neighbours described him as “wonderful”. One message, referring to his hit show Paul O’Grady: For The Love of Dogs, read: “Farewell Paul… and thanks for all the #PogDogs.” Neighbour Fred Jaeger, who had known O’Grady since he moved to the area around 20 years ago, said: “He was a wonderful man, we were very fond of him. “He was a lovely neighbour, loved his animals, always a great guy to talk to and a real loss for us all.” The comedian and TV presenter, who rose to fame on the nightclub circuit as the acerbic, platinum wig-wearing Lily Savage, was originally from Birkenhead in Merseyside, but adopted Kent as his home more than 20 years ago. In a six-part ITV series called Paul O’Grady’s Great British Escape, he described why he loved living in the “Garden of England”.
