We're very sad to report that English actor and Are You Being Served? star Frank Thornton passed away over the Bank Holiday Weekend at the age of 92.
Thornton was probably best known for his role as Captain Stephen Peacock in the long-running BBC sitcom, but he also starred in other popular series like Last Of The Summer Wine. It's understood that his last role was in the cinema adaptation of stage farce Run for Your Wife, which also starred Danny Dyer.
His agent, David Daly, told BBC News that the actor had passed away peacefull in his sleep on Saturday March 16th."I have been Frank's agent since 1986 and he has been the most wonderful client as well as being a great friend. He will be sorely missed," Daly said.
He is survived by his wife, Beryl and daughter, Jane. RIP.
