Frank Carson RIP – a life in photos and Tiswas

FRANK Carson RIP. You were the funniest thing to come out of Belfast since the man who dubbed Gerry Adams’ voice on the BBC. “It’s the way I tell ’em,” and “It’s a cracker!” Those were your catchphrases. Said Carson’s friend Eddie McIlwaine: “He met the present Pope (Benedict XVI) and the Pope said ‘Did you ever meet Elvis Presley?’ Frank said ‘No, I have not, but it won’t be long now’.”
