COMEDY classics such as the Lumberjack Song and Spam are known to millions - and they stem from the pen of an East Lancashire composer.
For Fred Tomlinson was the man responsible for the music of many of Britain's most humorous songs.
Fred, from Rawtenstall, forged a career as a top composer for a number of TV shows as well as stage musicals.
But his work with the Monty Python team was been highlighted after Eric Idle's musical Spamalot, based on the film the Holy Grail opened in London.
Fred worked with Idle, John Cleese and Co between 1969 and 1972 and not only wrote the music but appeared in a number of sketches.
He even appeared on Top of the Pops in the early 1990s as part of the backing group as the Pythons sang Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, from the film Life of Brian.
