Kevin Bridges has paid tribute to his late father while also responding to an online critic.
After his dad Andy was reported to have passed away over the weekend, the Clydebank comedian shared a video clip of him dancing on Twitter on Sunday.
He added the caption: "The greatest of all time."

The touching tribute comes just after Bridges, 36, responded to a Twitter user who called him out over the comments he made about The Queen after her death in September.
It was previously reported that Bridges had joked that Queen Elizabeth "won't be the only old woman who is going to die this winter" after carrying on with his string of gigs while many events were cancelled in the wake of her death.
And after the news of his father's death, someone asked: "Will he joke about this like he did when our Queen died?"
Bridges responded with: "Of course I will joke about it… do you know where I can get a good suit for the funeral mate??"

Tributes began to pour in for Bridges' father, with one fan commenting: "Sorry for your heartbreaking loss Kevin. You painted the most amazing picture of your Dad through your comedy and that will live on in all our minds."
Another said: "Sincere condolences Kevin. I know from your act and autobiography how much he meant to you."
