MOURNERS packed into a cathedral yesterday to pay a final farewell to popular Cornish comic Jethro.
Fans had applauded earlier as the funeral cortege passed through Truro.
Jethro, 73 — real name Geoffrey Rowe — died of Covid.
Pal and fellow comedian Jim Davidson said: “He was a great comic and he never changed.
"We are all here in church to celebrate his life and the hope that we all meet again somewhere.
“I look at it this way Jethro my old boy. What a caterpillar calls death, a wise man calls a butterfly. So you go fly Jeth. Thank you.”
