Sir Lenny Henry bid an emotional farewell on Friday night during BBC’s Comic Relief. The presenter expressed his gratitude, saying “It’s been an honour” as the event came to a close.
Prior to Sir Lenny’s final words, David Tennant dedicated three minutes to him, playing one of his all-time favorite songs, “A Change Is Going To Come.” The soulful sound of JERUB filled the studio as they performed the song. Sir Lenny thanked JERUB for their beautiful performance, describing it as a wonderful vibe.
During the programme, Sir Lenny’s co-stars took a moment to pay tribute to him, leaving viewers in tears. One viewer was particularly moved by a tribute from people in Africa who have been helped by Sir Lenny over the years. The emotional moments led to many viewers expressing their own tears and appreciation for Sir Lenny’s impact.
Comic Relief is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
