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...

Roy was someone who made such an impression on me as a child. He wanted people to do their best, to be their best - for themselves. It wasn't about winning as such, it was about getting better at something, trying something new, having fun. I think of Roy Castle and I think of someone who embraced life, who was full of joy, someone who loved people. His name lives on, and may it continue to live on for many years to come. Thank you, Roy Castle OBE.
