On behalf of the family I would like to thank everyone for the messages and tributes received on this and other sites. They have been a great comfort to us and have raised our spirits thoughout the last couple of weeks. My father would have been truly humbled by the text of these messages and I suspect, a little bewildered at "all this fuss". He would also have been very surprised to learn that he was married to Cleo Laine!! 

The Humphrey Lyttelton Band will continue to perform and concerts are being lined up. Please check the concerts page for listings

Radio 4 will be dedicating Sunday 15th June in tribute to Humph. There will be a mix of repeats (like his Desert Island Discs show) and new shows, including a new profile of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue by Stephen Fry called Chairman Humph - a Tribute which will be broadcast at noon

If you would like to leave a message or tribute on this site please click on Remember Humph This page will remain available for the time being
