Paul O'Grady has died aged 67. A lovely person, he was a Deputy Lord-Lieutenant in Kent. His work in animal welfare led to his being admired by Queen Camilla. He will be remembered by many for the documentary series he fronted on the work of The Salvation Army, an organisation he admired for its social work.
The Army has issued this statement. 'We are saddened to hear about our friend. Paul O'Grady's passing. We are so grateful for all he did for the The Salvation Army.'
As a gay person in a same-sex marriage he would not have been able to be an officer of the Army. It reeks of discrimination and the stench of hypocrisy.
