Barry Humphries has been remembered for his comedic “genius” but also his kindness, at a state memorial in Sydney.
In a message read out at the service, King Charles said: “Life really won’t be the same without him.”
Musician and friend Elton John, in a recorded video, told those at the service to “celebrate with laughter because that was what Barry was all about”.
The 89-year-old comedian and raconteur died in April of complications from hip surgery.
