[laughter] All of us gathered here in this great hall of Albert-- named, strangely enough, after Albert Modley, a northern comedian, previously unknown south of Rotherham-- all of us here surely feel tonight wretchedly inadequate in the littleness of our celebration of the bigness of someone so hugely big in all our little lives, that his bigness and our littleness are like opposite poles... Oh, I didn't want to do this!
I don't want to go on all night giving tributes.
I wanted to be... a lumberjack!

Thank you for, Olivia and Dhani, for inviting us all.
[applause] Sometimes if you go around to George's house, after you'd had dinner the ukuleles would come out.
And one time, not so long ago, we were playing.
And I said, "There's a song I do on the ukulele," I played it for him.
I'll play it for you now.
It's a tribute to our beautiful friend.
