The stand-up star was discharged from the Liverpool Heart and Chest hospital just under two weeks ago, following a six-week stay for a nasty chest infection.
Speaking after his dismissal from hospital, he said: "I have been so very, very well-treated – I can’t praise the staff here too highly.
"They have been absolutely wonderful. And the kindness and, dare I say it, affection I have been shown has been absolutely amazing."
Born in Liverpool in 1927, his stage and comedy career spanned more than seven decades.
He was knighted last year in the New Year's Honours by Prince William at Buckingham Palace for services to entertainment and charity.
RIP
Another big name gone like Sir Bruce Forsyth with a long stage career!
