Theatre and film actor Sir Donald Sinden has died at his home aged 90.
Sir Donald made his name on stage as a Shakespearean actor and also had more than 70 credits for film and TV productions since the late 1940s to now.
As reported in later editions of last night's Evening Times, he had been battling prostate cancer over several years and his death has been described as a "huge loss" by his family.
Sir Roger Moore was among those who paid tribute, calling him "a wonderful actor".
The former James Bond spoke warmly about the star, with whom he appeared in the 1975 film That Lucky Touch.
