Tony Haygarth RIP

[Sam Armstrong]

Not noticed a thread on here and apologies if it's already been mentioned but have just found out that the actor, Tony Haygarth, passed away on Saturday.

Always liked him as he seemed to play an almost non-stop series of really likeable characters. Sadly I'm not quite sure what he died of but I do know he'd been diagnosed with prostate cancer as well as Alzheimer's/vascular dementia.

Once read a fascinating article about him telling how his father had packed him and his mate, Geoffrey Hughes (Eddie Yeats/Onslow) off to London together to make their fortune!

Never a top-biller but a great supporting actor who will be sadly missed.

RIP Tony and thank you for your wonderful contribution.
