Didn't see Sylvia hanging around there in an inappropriately short skirt though.

I had you down as more of an Yvonne Stuart - Hargreaves fancier.

I met her many years ago as I worked with her then son in law, he was married to her daughter and her father was the actor who played the German commander in Dads Army in the famous Dontvtell him your name episode. Very nice lady such a shame, RIP.

The husband of Ruth (and your work colleague's father-in-law) was Philip Madoc. He appeared in loads of TV dramas in the '70/80's. The Dad's Army role was probably his most notorious.
Saw him in Fallowfield when he was appearing in a Play at the Royal Exchange Theatre.
There was a house off Lorne Road that actors stayed at when performing at The Exchange...

Had a fall, died after having surgery, so quite sudden and unexpected. Makes it even sadder really. Goodnight campers, RIP lady.

Sad, big part of most people's youth growing up. Falls are a big danger for many elderly people.
