Ron Pember has passed away at the age of 87, his grandson has announced.

Meanwhile fans also shared their sadness over his loss as one person commented: "RIP Ron Pember. Appeared in absolutely everything. Wonderfully. Probably best known for 'Secret Army'."
Another said: "Just heard the sad news that Ron Pember has passed away. (Tuesday) He was such a gentleman with us upstarts when he appeared on #RedDwarf He just rammed his tongue firmly into his cheek and joined the party! What a legend. RIP".
A third wrote: "RIP Ron Pember, actor in every TV show of the 70s and 80s. And, crucially, Alain in the greatest UK drama series, Secret Army. Go peacefully "down the line", Ron."
While a fourth added: "Farewell Ron Pember, who appeared in … every tv show ever made."
Described as a "gentleman", fans could agree over one key thing when it comes to Ron – he's been in everything.
Starting his career in the industry back in 1961, he first played the role of a wounded soldier in TV series Looking About.

But it wasn't long before he was bagging roles in popular programmes, including Secret Army – where he starred as Alain Muny from 1977 to 1979.
He later played the role of Baz in Only Fools and Horses, the Taxman in Red Dwarf, and Cullen in Bluebirds.
Ron married Yvonne Tylee in 1959 and the pair had two children together.
