Making Britain laugh for 30 years: Victoria Wood's funniest jokes

Comedian Victoria Wood has died of cancer at the age of 62.

She has been hailed as a "national treasure" by Prime Minister David Cameron and fellow comedians have rushed to pay tribute to the star.

A stand-up, writer, actor and director, Wood has entertained Britain for 30 years. She won the most TV Baftas in history and she held the record for the most sell-out shows at the Royal Albert Hall.

Ten of Victoria Wood's funniest jokes:

• I thought Coq au Vin was love in a lorry.
• My children won't even eat chips because some know-all bastard at school told them a potato was a vegetable.
• I once went to one of those parties where everyone throws their car keys into the middle of the room. I don't know who got my moped but I've been driving that Peugeot for years.
• My boyfriend had a sex manual but he was dyslexic. I was lying there and he was looking for my vinegar.
