The world has lost another great funny man.

On Tuesday Jan 21, 2020, Terry Jones, one of the founding members of Monty Python, passed away at his home at the age of 77.

He was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia in 2015, and became a public face of the disease after going public with his diagnosis in 2016.

His works include writing and acting throughout the Python's time together, as well as directing the feature films The Holy Grail, The Life of Brian, and The Meaning of Life.

He also wrote and/or directed other films and television outside of Monty Python such as Erik the Viking, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and Fierce Creatures.

He was also an author, with credits including the tie-in novel to the his friend Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic computer game (which, according the introduction of the book, he only agreed to do if Adams' allowed him to write it while stark naked), a number children's books, and various other works of both fiction and non-fiction.
