What was your reaction to Tommy Cooper's death?

I am a huge fan of the legendary comic magician, Tommy Cooper who died during a live broadcast of his act in 1984. I was born after this event and am interested to know how viewers at the time reacted. Did you really think it was part of his act? Did you know he was having a heart attack? And exactly how much of his routine did he get through? I know he died during the "magic cloak" routine but which routines/jokes did he perform immediately before? Or had he just started his performance?
