FRANK THORNTON

Post by Marian » Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:52 pm

Ninety-two-year-old Frank Thornton died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday. R.I.P. Frank Thornton.

"Frank was a much loved British actor who played mainly comedy roles and is perhaps best known for his role as Captain Peacock in Are You Being Served? and latterly as Truly in Last Of The Summer Wine."

More sad news-we are losing so many of our favourite characters this year.

I remember him most in "Last of the Summer Wine"

Very sad to read this, unforgettable as Captain Peacock in Are You Being Served, one of our very best sitcoms.
