Barry Humphries was making people smile for almost nine decades, and that didn’t change in the last few months of his life. In the last known photos of the much-loved comedian, who died on Saturday (April 22) aged 89, he brought joy to two fans as he stopped for selfies.

Wearing his famous cheeky grin, the Melbourne-born was in high spirits as he hugged two women, then standing in the middle and placing an arm around them both.

The Dame Edna Everage creator was barefoot and sported salmon-pink chinos and a striped shirt, enjoying a day out in the sunshine.

Taken and shared on Instagram in December 2022, these snaps captured his last public appearance, which we know of. Humphries’ death comes after a stay in hospital in Sydney, Australia, where he was being treated after suffering complications from hip surgery.

So much did Humphries subsume his own identity into that of his larger-than-life creation that he even had her write a disparaging spoof tribute to himself for The Telegraph, in which Dame Edna described him as “merely a footnote to my spectacular career”. That was typical of the comic, who fellow professionals have lauded as one the finest practitioners of his craft.
