RIP Caroline Aherne

A very talented and funny lady. In fact one if the very few truly funny women in my opinion.

I knew she had lung cancer but didn't know that she was born with cancer of the eye, then later got bladder and lung cancer and finally throat cancer. What a terrible burden and no wonder she was often troubled and depressed. Enough to knock anyone over.
RIP Caroline.

RIP Another talent has left us.

What wonderful talent and being famous made her uncomfortable - seems so common to them all - how sad not to enjoy fame! Linda Smith, Victoria Wood and now Caroline Aherne RIP

we have lost so many talented people,and now another one gone.Very sad,as she was still young.

Well said oldgoose may she rest in peace ?

Caroline Aherne and Victoria Wood were both amazingingly talented with different styles of comedy writing, but still brilliant in their own way. The sort of comedy that you can watch over and over again, and it's still fantastic, still funny and stands the test of time. I'm just wondering who is going to follow them? Women don't do as well in comedy as men do, but when they do they get it so right. Their comedy was not surreal or silly , it was always believable, slices of life that we all know. Are there any female writers out there who can fill their shoes?

Caroline Aherne was the most funny, talented lady. The Royle Family was a groundbreaking comedy and my absolute favourite. I often thought she would be my choice if I could pick one celebrity to go on a night out with. How sad to lose such a one-off so young.(sad)

2016 has not been a good year for famous people , we've lost over 35 in the first quarter . David Bowie, Victoria Wood, Ronnie. Corbett, Prince, Alan Rickman to name a few.

Another brilliant star extinguished this year. So sad.

Saw the clip where she said her Mum told her only special people get cancer and as she now had it in her bladder and lungs, she must be very special. To Caroline and to all the 'special' people. RIP to a great comedy talent.

How sad such a waste of a wonderfully talented lady RIP Caroline x

So sad, so young. RIP Caroline - a woman who gave great pleasure to many.

I had no idea she was ill - so very, very sad. Such a turbulent personal life, with so many struggles. RIP Caroline.

RIP Caroline.

She was so talented. What a shock - I assume she kept things quiet.

I'm reminded of Linda Smith, another really funny and talented girl who died young.

Perhaps because I feel I am living on borrowed time I am unable to watch Victoria Wood as I feel she died so young and now I feel just the same about Caroline Aherne.
Talent is such a wonderful gift and to see it wiped out depresses me so much. RIP to them both,

Such a shock!!! RIP Caroline

RIP Caroline

As everyone else, such a talented lady and such a troubled life.
God Bless

Oh no, how sad. How many more of our lovely, popular celebrities will we lose the end of the year? ?

Tragically young to die. So very sad. We've lost too many good'uns this year, haven't we?

Sad news, again

I loved her too, in all her roles. A very talented lady, at least she's at peace now...

Poor lady I read that she has had several different cancers over several years how sad.
