sad news ........................
Actor Clive Dunn, best known for his role as Lance Corporal "Jonesy" Jones in Dad's Army, has died aged 92.
He died in Portugal on Tuesday from complications following an operation.
Dunn - whose famous catchphrases included "Don't panic, don't panic" and "They don't like it up 'em" - became a recording star in 1971 when his record, Grandad, reached number one.
Frank Williams, who played the Vicar on Dad's Army, said he was always "great fun" to be around.
"Of course he was so much younger than the part he played," he told BBC Radio Four. "It's very difficult to think of him as an old man really.
"But he was a wonderful person to work with - great sense of humour, always fun, a great joy really."
