Just read this on BBC news, I knew him better on Keeping Up Appearances, really liked him on that, shame, not that old these days, sounds like he'd been ill for quite a while

[Fort Jefferson]

Great bloke RIP.



Did you know he once knocked Richard Gere of his motorbike with an old Volvo.

Thats not why he's a great bloke by the way.

Sad when I heard this news yesterday. Grew up watching Corrie and he / Hilda / Stan Ogden were the original funny threesome in the show.

Loved him in The Royle Family too, especially in the decorating scene.

RIP Geoffrey. Taken too quickly.
