‘Still can’t believe he’s gone’: Bill Bailey shares touching throwback photo of ‘old pal’ Sean Lock

Bill Bailey has shared a touching tribute to Sean Lock.

The comedian posted a throwback photo of the pair out on a country walk 19 months after Lock died of cancer.

Bailey captioned the photo on Twitter: “Some days I still can’t quite believe he’s gone. Today is one of those days.”

He capped the post: “Miss you Sean old pal.”

Bailey participated in a charity walk one year after Lock’s death, raising more than £100,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support alongside Lee Mack and Lock’s family.

Last year, Bailey said that Lock was still cracking jokes in his final days. “Even in his last few days, we were still having a laugh, still joking, still coming up with ideas,” he said.

“We had great conversations. I brought in my guitar and sang him his favourite Johnny Cash songs.”

He also performed as a stand-up and appeared on Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie To You? and QI.
