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.

Oh she was more famous as an actress for other things in the UK...including Hetty Wainthrop..above..

She was also an accomplished singer

Played on Broadway as well. Unfortunately although I went to many shows I didn't get to see her.

I've been watching that show on PBS on Saturday nights for years. I even bought the box set. I still laugh no matter how many times I've seen the episodes. R.I.P. Patricia Routledge, and thanks for all of the laughs over the years. Now if you get a call in Heaven, you'll say, "Bouquet Residence!
The Lady of the House speaking!"
