I am of that generation you mention. In the 80’s & 90’s I trolled around London to the pubs & clubs to see Regina, Adrella, Zsarday, Lily & all the contemporary performers. The Cap, The Tavern, The Mucky Duck, The Brewers, The LA, I’d be there howling & whopping with laughter. What I want to say is thank you. Thank you for such an appropriate tribute to them all. I know for a fact both Reg & Paul would have loved it. If they were somehow watching they’d have been choking with laughter & ripping the pee nonstop. I can’t say more, Ive got used to thinking of Reg in the past tense but not Paul. Just thinking it makes my heart ache. Still, thanks & well done. Fabulous tribute xx
Well done Myra, you got Lilly just right and to mention 4 others from that generation was wonderful. Was not in the U.K. to attend but I was there in spirit, singing and cheering along. I’m an old taverner who can go back to pre Lilly times and all the others you mentioned but I love the stars of today and of course the RVT family and community ❤❤❤❤
I am now one of The Stately Homo's of England and apologise to you Myra having passed me by, Not anymore...thank you so much for your genuine heartfelt homage to Lily And OUR community. I will be enjoying you in what ever future I have got left.
Thank you darling for making this beautiful memorial speech and sharing the recording. Everything you said about Lily and the community resounded so deeply. In the early 90s when we all faced such hardships together, Lily, Regina and the others gave a voice and a beautiful presence to our humanity. Now, as you say, we face more challenges so we need to stand together to unite in the face of emnity and keep those gorgeous rainbow lights shining for the next generation. Thank you for holding that light, that night. ❤️
I'm so grateful to have stumbled across this. I don't know you and I'm sure you're not half as nice as you say you are 😉but you have nailed this. Gracious, insightful, and rousing - it was a joy to watch you embrace your crowd and lead them to understand themselves at a time of loss. Long may you not do 5-minutes of lipsync and call it a career.
Paul(Lily) would be overwhelmed with the love people are showing, it actually still hasnt sunk in, i think it will take a while for it to sink in, i was gonna see him in panto this year an i was gonna wait outside to get a photo and i keep getting moments where i think 'oh i cant wait to see him' then i remember he isnt here anymore, totally devasted
I had the privilege of going to the RVT twice with my friends & both times were incredible. Wonderful venue, friendly people & great bar staff. So great we went out to a club after together. Both times I saw the fabulously raw, hilarious & talented Dame Edna Experience. Thank you to all who welcomed me.This venue is sacred & I hold precious the fantastic time I had. Beautiful & funny tribute Myra, R.I.P darling Lilly you will be missed ❣️💓
"Henious snotty little fuck trophies" - brilliant! I went to my local pub this lunch for a quiet pint and a butty while reading the news and a few of the gobby ferals were running round unsupervised (or gagged) because it's the Easter school holidays, disturbing my repose. I so buy into this comment of Myra's!
The fact you have a mole dedicated to Savage made me give you a thumbs up. Your set and your FABULOUS looks made me subscribe. A nice nod to Savage, thank you x
It's been a few years since i was at the RVT but it's honestly one of my favourite places to go. Unfortunately I decided to have a couple of snotty little fuck trophies 😂Such a beautiful community! RIP Paul O'Grady ❤️
Myra, brilliant tribute 2 Paul/Lily! From young and now a middle aged woman, always found drag shows fantastic and thoroughly entertaining!! Ur act's are 1st class without any danger 2 children but It's the Jeffery Marsh's of this world tht are tarnishing reputations and tht is very sad indeed!!! R.I.P Lily ❤
I was there , Lilly was absolutely hilarious, we used to travel all over London just to see her , we never did that for anyone else , Paul always made a point of thanking us for it , a true one off , it was a sad day when I heard of him dying , they were happy days indeed ♥️
I never went to the Vauxhall Tavern, I preferred the ladies in the Queen Anne across the park 😊... But this is a great tribute to a great fella, and there will always be a part of Vauxhall with the spirit of Lily 👍👍
I fucking love this queen seen her/you if you read this when you opened for Bianca Del Rio in Liverpool can i just say as a scouser and a fan of Paul O'Grady/Lily Savage this was amazing and emotional to watch thank you Myra Lily will be cursing you from the depths of hell! 🤣👹🔥👏🏻
Now this is how you do a eulogy…with huge heart, a tiny bit of venom, just the right level of laughter and deep respect for another human being ❤❤❤

I can only imagine the hilarious madness of Lily Savage in the clubs of the 1980s
I was there , Lilly was absolutely hilarious, we used to travel all over London just to see her , we never did that for anyone else , Paul always made a point of thanking us for it , a true one off , it was a sad day when I heard of him dying , they were happy days indeed ♥️

Keep iconic drag going on it’s I e if the few things we left in the gay scene
Love her.
Perfectly pitched Myra - funny yet moving.
Such great British drag. I miss the RVT
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Proper drag act. Ru pauls drags have really spoilt this area of entertainment by thinking lip synching and dancing is a drag show.
Vera Drake 😂
Joseph and today
Of all the names you could have picked, why choose Myra?. All I can think about is a peroxide child killer 😢
