Sadly, it has been reported Ian Lavender has died. A great actor and the last of the main cast of Dad's Army.

I will watch a few episodes tonight in tribute, especially my favourite "The Deadly Attachment."

I saw him in Ghost Train at The Lowry theatre in Salford. I think his father wrote the play.

Ghost Train was written by the actor that played Godfrey, whose name escapes me now.

RIP Ian. You were part of my youth.

Sad news, he seemed such a nice chap. He’ll be forever young in many people’s hearts.

What a cast they were!

RIP. The last of the Warmington-on-Sea Home Guard. Brilliant actors all.

Yes, the last of genuinely talented and skilled actors. Now all the tv channels can serve up is dreadfull "reality" rubbish and the likes of the appalling "Gavin & Stacey" featuring the dire James Corden.

Stupid boy! That's all the cast gone now, I think. They don't make sit-coms like that any more. mae13 I am glad I am not the only one to think James Corden is dire.

What a wonderful show it was and I agree they do not make them like that anymore. RIP Ian.
