Victoria had so much more to give, a great comedian, writer, actor, director, Victoria had it all. We will never see the like again. I was lucky enough in 2005 (I think) to see Victoria in the West End musical "Acorn Antiques." Victoria was playing the part of Mrs Overall, it was Julie's night off and Victoria called it Bingo night. The whole cast were amazing.

This year really sucks with the talent we have lost. When I think of Victoria I always think of "The Ballard of Barry and Freda." In her words, "Let's do it, let's do it, do it till our hearts go boom." She is the only girl I would want to beat me on the bottom with the Woman's Weekly.

Who can forget Victoria's affectionate tribute to Coronation Street. Victoria as Ena and Julie as Martha was nothing short of genius. "You can pick up some very interesting conversations if you keep your hair net jammed up against vestry wall."

RIP Vic.
