Sir Michael Palin said, “Terry was one of my closest, most valued friends. He was kind, generous, supportive and passionate about living life to the full.
He was far more than one of the funniest writer-performers of his generation, he was the complete Renaissance comedian – writer, director, presenter, historian, brilliant children’s author, and the warmest, most wonderful company you could wish to have.”
Jones passed away on Tuesday evening with his wife, Anna Soderstrom, by his side.
