We have just learned that famous Monty Python actor Terry Jones has sadly passed away.
He was 77 years old and has been battling dementia.
In 2015, the Monty Python star was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia – this often starts at at a younger age, affects the front and sides of the brain and causes multiple issues.
Michael Palin recently admitted that his friend hardly recognised him and was barely able to speak during visits.
We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of this great comic legend of our times.
