Jimmy Cricket has posted a video of dancing binmen in memory of his late friend Frankie Whittle.
The two were fellow Redcoats at Butlin’s holiday site in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, in the 60s.
Frankie, known as Bolton’s own “singing milkman”, enjoyed a showbiz career of more than 50 years.
The video, which Jimmy put on social media, features him, Frankie and others as binmen who perform a dance routine around the bins.
The funny clip ends with them running after the bin lorry which has driven off without them!
Jimmy posted: “Hi folks, here’s a tribute to my great friend Frankie Whittle R.I.P.
“We first worked together as Redcoats in Butlin’s in the summer of 1968.
“Frankie went on to become an actor/panto dame and singer/compere at The Music Hall Tavern in Blackpool.
“My thoughts are with his sister Carol.”
