My mother loved her. I watched 'Keeping up Appearances' with her a couple of times. She was a gem.

Whenever I chose something to wear that was, well scruffy, my wife would say: "Richard! Richard! Think of the neighbours Richard. One has standards." Patricia was a cherished actress and a very talented comedienne. May she rest in peace.

I must share with you one of Hyacinth's classic one liners: "Hyacinth: If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobbery and one-upmanship. People trying to pretend they're superior. Makes it so much harder for those of us who really are."

reminded me of my mother so much!

Funny, enjoyable show and her career went far beyond the TV show which she is most widely known for.
