We used to run an antiques/curios stall in the Rocking Horse flea market in Hassocks. He sometimes came in with his partner and entourage.
He was exactly the same as in Dad's Army, so I don't think he was acting at all in Dad's Army - he was just being himself !
Lovely bloke. RIP Frank.

Very sad, another part of our childhood gone.
But 90 is a great innings.

Ian Lavender moved out to Suffolk I believe, sometime last year but prior to that he lived close to where I am. Whenever I saw him in the town or the supermarket or wherever, they’d always be people calling out “don’t tell him Pike!” or “ you stupid boy” and he always unfailingly took it in good humour and would happily stop for selfies or to sign a scrap of paper or just have a brief chat and make someone else’s day a bit more memorable.
He’s a lovely, generous bloke and so sad that now he’s the last man standing for Walmington-on-Sea

My dad was a week off 98 when he passed. His GP told him that he'd had a good innings, and dad replied 'I wasn't planning on going anywhere just yet!'.

A few years back he opened Rottingdean village fete. With a group of locals dressed up as the Walmington-on-sea home guard. He was dressed as the vicar. All reassuringly “village”. Rest in Peace Vicar.
