Sir Bruce died on Friday, aged 89, after suffering from pneumonia.

Tributes were paid from across the entertainment industry.

Newspaper reports suggest the family are considering the option of a large scale memorial service.

Former culture secretary John Whittingdale said: "He is such a huge figure in the life of the nation - I would hope that as many people as possible will be able to pay their respects to such a much-loved figure."

Meanwhile it's claimed councillors in his home area of Edmonton, north-east London, are considering putting up a statue of him.
