Walter William Bygraves OBE, known by the stage name Max Bygraves (16 October 1922 – 31 August 2012), was an English comedian, singer, actor and variety performer. He appeared on his own television shows, sometimes performing comedy sketches between songs. He made twenty ''Royal Variety Performance'' appearances and presented numerous programmes, including ''Family Fortunes''. ==Early life== Bygraves was born to Henry and Lillian (née McDonnell) Bygraves (who wed in 1919) in London,〔 where he grew up in poverty in a two-room council flat with his five siblings, his parents and a grandparent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Max Bygraves BBC obituary )〕 His father was a professional flyweight boxer, known as Battling Tom Smith, and a casual dockworker. Brought up Catholic, he attended St Joseph's School, Paradise Street, Rotherhithe, and sang with his school choir at Westminster Cathedral.〔(''The Guardian'' obituary ). Retrieved 1 September 2012〕 He left school at 14, working at the Savoy Hotel in London as a pageboy, but was sacked for being too tall. He then became a messenger for an advertising agency in Fleet Street, before serving as a fitter in the RAF in World War II and working as a carpenter. He changed his name to Max Bygraves in honour of comedian Max Miller.〔Simon Cable, ("Agony of Max Bygraves as his wife of 69 years dies three years after they left Britain" ), ''The Daily Mail'', 24 May 2011.〕
