The comedian, 80, was laid to rest at a service in Milnthorpe, Cumbria
BULLSEYE host Jim Bowen has been laid to rest at a private funeral.
Family and friends attended the quiet service for the comic, 80, on the same day Sir Ken Dodd’s funeral brought Liverpool to a halt.
Jim presented the ITV darts show for 14 years and the Bullseye Facebook site called Wednesday’s send-off in Milnthorpe, Cumbria, “loving and incredibly moving.”
It said he was a “super, smashing, great” husband, father and grandfather “loved by millions.”

Dad-of-two Bowen, who was married to Phyllis, turned stand-up after teaching PE, and first appeared on TV in Granada’s The Comedians.
He said landing Bullseye was 90 per cent luck as he was a poor host but “the game was the star.”
Jim died on March 14 after two strokes.
