Remembering Roy

Roy Castle was a beloved entertainer. He could dance, sing and act. He could play dozens of instruments and held multiple world records. But this isn’t what made him special; it was the selfless way he lived out the final few months of his life.

30 years ago, Roy embarked on an epic three-day journey – the Tour of Hope – raising the profile of lung cancer and funds for essential research.

To commemorate this special occasion, we want to hear your memories of Roy. Leave a dedication to one of the good one...

Leave a Dedication

Roy Castle

Growing up in the 80s, Roy Castle often appeared on the telly, beaming his joy into our living room, entertaining us and inspiring me to apply dedication to my dancing. When his wife Fiona came to judge a competition at my Performing Arts College in 1996, I was thrilled to bits! I didn’t get to tell her how much I loved Roy, but it was a great honour to dance for her. I loved taking part in this year’s Time to Tap, and was super chuffed to receive my medal (as you can probably tell LOL!). Xxx
