The son of Eddie Large, Ryan Large, says his father was ‘laughing and joking’ until the end, just before his death from coronavirus.
Eddie sadly passed away on Thursday at the age of 78 after contracting Covid-19, but that did not stop him from ‘telling jokes’ to staff and visitors at Southmead Hospital in Bristol just before his death.
Speaking to The Mirror, Ryan said: ‘He was always laughing and joking with the nurses. ‘He always showed them a photo of himself and Syd with Ant and Dec because you had all the young nurses thinking, “who is this guy messing about telling me jokes?” ‘He’s meant to be on death’s door and he’s still messing about telling jokes!
