Sinatra became a long-time supporter of Mr Rickles even inviting him to perform alongside him at Ronald Reagan's second Inaugural Ball.

He also took the piss out of the president, quipping: "Is this too fast for you, Ronnie?"

Rickles is survived by his wife of 52 years, Barbara, as well as their daughter, Mindy Mann, and two grandchildren.
