PATRICIA ROUTLEDGE, star of stage, screen and television was made a Dame recently.
She will always be remembered for her brilliant portrayal of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced “Bouquet”), the lovable snob in the television series Keeping Up Appearances.
I would love to have seen her made a fictitious Dame in that series and to have seen her performances as such.
Wonderful comedy that only an actress of her ability could perform with such magnificence.
