I was going to write a really long winded ode to the People's Poet, however I will go with "god bless you Rik, you made millions cry with laughter and brought joy to all".
I never met Rik although I would have loved to have done so and sadly never will now, however, he will be forever in my thoughts and heart. There will never be another shining star such as Richard Michael Mayall, god bless to him and his lovely family, he was taken way too soon x
