The sharp-eyed amongst you may have noticed that Sir Harry is wearing a Black Watch kilt. This was in memory of his only son who was killed in France during the Great War. Sir Harry became the Bob Hope of WWI travelling throughout the
European theater entertaining HM troops, often in his son's kilt. When not on stage he was considered one of Britain's best dressed men-- in or out of a kilt. He was also the first Scottish comedian to be successful south of Glasgow, turning down his "Scotch brogue" when performing in London-- to packed houses, as he did on his tours in Canada and the United States. I believe he was buried wearing his son's kilt. Sir Harry was not only a knight, he was a gentleman.
