R.I.P, Raymond. My family and I have fond memories of sitting down to watch The Snowman together every Christmas Eve. A tradition that continues to this day. Thank you for those memories. May you live on forever through your wonderful art. ❤️⛄

Christmas 🎄☃️ eve was all about the snowman when my boys were young so magical sad news Raymond Briggs has passed away RIP sir condolences to his family and friends 🙏🙏

[@jamestaylorillustration3179]

I am impressed! He's one of my heroes.

[@bardotbardo3633]

How sad that life did not allow Ethel & Ernest to see their son Raymond become a hard working world famous artist and now a SIR, how proud they would have been. Just one of the cruelties of life.

[@francisguidera972]

He is not a 'Sir' but he absolutely should be!

[@dean9235]

Kind, naughty, fun, creative and intelligent. Thank you Raymond.

[@laurenbriggs3411]

I'll tell him. He came round my house yesterday because he lives next door to my grandad and is really good friends with my family. He's funny cas my grandad is in hospital and he brought round wine.
