I enjoyed an unforgettable relationship on and off stage with one of the greatest and loveliest entertainers. My first gig with Diane was in Barry Island, where she sold over 50 LPs that night. Offered me the job of her MD, and even paid the wages of a three piece band. That’s how much she valued performing with musicians she knew and trusted. A complete one-off who will always be remembered affectionally to everyone who knew her, or were lucky enough, like me, to perform with her. Love you Di.  xxxxxx…

Diana enthralled every audience on all the Cruise Ships she worked. It wasn’t just her comedy timing and delivery in that wonderful Welsh lilt, but her beautiful singing voice as well. I have fond memories of having lunch with her and the multi instrumentalist Leo Shavers in a restaurant in Barcelona, she had everyone in stitches even the Spanish waiters! R.I.P. lovely Lady xx…

Diane, you was s wonderful lady, a wonderful friend, wonderful singer and entertainer, that we had the privilege to know for over 30 years. We are so sad that we never got to met up with you like we arranged. The photo is myself and like you would mam, in the Jersey holiday Village. We will miss you more than words can.   We will never forget you. All our love, Tricia, Shirley and Mick xxx…

Meeting you was but just one moment in time. Little did I know then that our first meeting would be our last. I was fortunate to have found you and Daryl in searching for my family. You  both welcomed me into your home and we were quickly at ease and  exchanging family information and catching up. You told me of your career in entertainment and on the high seas and if I remember correctly you were taking phone calls in readiness to take up one such opportunity at that time. Little did I know then the tragedy that was about to befall you and one which would ultimately take you away from those whom hold you so dear in their hearts. There is without doubt much sadness at this time and no words can possibly ease the pain that loved ones are feeling. I hope there is a Heaven because you will take your place there for sure. Rest in peace Diane….

We were very sorry to hear the sad news. We send our deepest sympathy. Diane was very talented and funny. She will be sorely missed, we were lucky to have met her during several cruises and always enjoyed reading her stories of travel! 💔…

I’m so very sad in  the passing of Diane cousins  ! not only a legend of comedy and song  a great performer and the First Lady of welsh comedy . ! she was my friend, kind , helpful in so many ways ! she was a superstar to me ,  in Wales and across the globe . Wherever she went she was loved . diane helped me at the beginning of my career in Jersey and presented me with the Best Comedian Award 1993 , which Diane had won umpteen times 15 times I think she supported me on the cruises when I needed help ! She was always there !  Diane to me was the pinnacle in entertainment and was in awe watching her perform , she put audiences at ease they loved her …. a true natural performer and learned so much from her . God bless lovely lady they all tried to  copy you but alas no one ☝️ could ! I’m gonna miss you big time ! until me meet again lots of love x Phil Doyle…

A dear friend who will be so so missed. I remember the first time I saw her show all those years ago, I knew I had to get to know her. That night she became part of my dinner club onboard, bringing joy to all who dined at with us. Excitement and anticipation was the order when I’d get a note that she was joining the ship, a truly gifted entertainer who always played to a packed house, with many of our guests often going to both shows. My deepest condolences go out to all the family at this very sad time and I pray that you’ll be comforted knowing she’s now performing to an even greater audience. Much love and my deepest sympathies. Steve…
