Dad's Army star Clive Dunn dies aged 92
The actor Clive Dunn has passed away from complications caused following surgery.
The 92-year-old star of Dad's Army was beloved for his portrayal of the hapless Lance Corporal "Jonesy" Jones in Dad's Army.
70-year-old Jones served in Sudan (twice), the Boer War and the First World War before being allowed to join Captain Mainwaring's Home Guard Platoon. His most famous lines included:
"Permission to speak sir"
"Don't panic"
"They don't like it up 'em!
Some of the show's best loved scenes were filmed in Norfolk between 1968 and 1977.
But sadly there are now only four members of the original cast still alive.
Frank Williams who played the Reverend Timothy Farthing
Pamela Cundell who joined the cast in 1969 and played Mrs Fox
Bill Pertwee who played Warden Hodges
Dunn trained at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and starred on the London stage before World War Two.
He was captured by the Germans during the conflict and spent fours years working in prisoner-of-war camps and labour camps in Austria.
After the war he married and secured his famous role as Jones. He was well known for playing characters significantly older than himself.
Ian Lavender, who played Private Frank Pike, said Dunn "always make you smile, no matter how you were feeling, he had a way to make you smile."
A single written specifically for his TV character 'Grandad' was top of the charts in the UK for three weeks in 1971.
Dunn later revealed: "It sold 90,000 copies in one day and I bought a house with it."
He is succeeded by his wife, the actress Priscilla Morgan and his daughters Jessica and Polly.
