Keith Harris, a UK ventriloquist famed throughout the UK in the 70s and 80s for his cute green companion, Orville the Duck, has died aged 67 in Blackpool. He had been battling cancer for the last few years.

Orville, although cute and squeaky-voiced, had a wry sense of humor and could often be very cheeky.

ETA: Forgot, they had a single too; 'I wish I could fly':
