The last surviving cast member of Dad's Army

The Dad's Army actor Ian Lavender, who played Private Pike in the hit TV series, has died at the age of 77.
Birmingham-born Lavender was just 22 when he was cast as the guileless platoon member, in what was then a new BBC sitcom.
But it made him a household name, and he ended up spending 10 years as part of the comedy classic.

Classic.

Approaching the pearly gates, Ian Lavender is asked by Saint Peter 'And your name, my son?'

In the distance Arthur Lowe's voice is heard shouting 'Don't tell him Pike!'

'Stupid boy' RIP

Dad's Army was a terrific comedy - and ageless - recently watched a full series of re-runs - always enjoyable. So sad that none of them are with us any longer.
