"In time I hope to write to everyone individually and thank you for all posts, messages, phone calls, emails, cards and flowers of support," he wrote.
"I much appreciate you all taking the time to reach out. I’m so very touched and I’m sure Paul would be too!"

On Tuesday, Andre announced the news of his husband's death with a statement.
He said: "It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening.
“We ask, at this difficult time, that whilst you celebrate his life you also respect our privacy as we come to terms with this loss.
“He will be greatly missed by his loved ones, friends, family, animals and all those who enjoyed his humour, wit and compassion.
“I know that he would want me to thank you for all the love you have shown him over the years.”

Paul, who suffered three heart attacks in his lifetime, said: "It’s not the actual dying, the final croak, that bothers me, it’s the speed of it.
“Will it come quickly? And will I know anything about it?"
He added : "Speaking from experience I’d favour a nice quick fatal heart attack over a long lingering death any day.
“I don’t want to rot, slowly, before my loved ones’ eyes. I’d rather make a quick exit."
