The world of entertainment has reacted to the death of Peter Stringfellow, night club entrepreneur and flamboyant personality. 

Known as the King of Clubs, Stringfellow became synonymous with stripclubs and lap dancers with his eponymous “gentlemen’s club” in London’s Covent Garden. Take a look at how his friends and colleagues in the media paid tribute.

Peter Stringfellow is the reason I only ever wear leopardskin briefs. RIP

My little story about Peter Stringfellow. In the 80s I used to spend 3 nights a week with my friend Coral Stringfellow (Peter's wife) in the massive flat they used to live in near Regents Park. It was a riot most nights. I had a bed with some of Peter's black satin sheets on..

I met Peter Stringfellow once. He had a sense of humour beyond the haircut. I asked him what he'd be doing if he hadn't ended up running strip clubs. He said: "Two words: benefit fraud."

R.I.P Peter Stringfellow. Wow, a big part of our lives and one of Sheffield's finest. What a character. He introduced me and my mum to Princess Diana.
