Frank Carson (1926-2012)
Hugh Francis Carson KSG, born on 6 November 1926, was a beloved Northern Irish comedian and actor who left an indelible mark on television and entertainment. Hailing from Belfast, Carson became a household name in the 1970s and onwards, captivating audiences with his distinctive catchphrases and self-deprecating humour. His iconic line, "It's the way I tell them!", became synonymous with his comedic style.
Carson's career trajectory was as unique as his humour, starting as a plasterer and electrician before serving in the Parachute Regiment. His transition to entertainment was seamless, earning him recognition not only for his comedic talent but also for his charitable endeavors. Pope John Paul II honored Carson with a knighthood into the Order of St Gregory in 1987 for his philanthropic work in Northern Ireland, particularly for his contributions to the Royal Victoria Hospital Children's Cancer Ward.
Throughout his life, Carson remained humble and quick-witted, endearing himself to fans with his infectious laughter and gentle mocking of fellow Irishmen. His passing at the age of 85 marked the end of an era in comedy, leaving behind a legacy that continues to evoke smiles and laughter in the hearts of those who cherished his humour.
