Lived to a grand old age and brought us classic memories, but sad nonetheless. RIP

Obviously relatively expected news, but deeply sad all the same. Have just watched Carry Ons Teacher and Constable in tribute. RIP Sir  |

Another show biz stalwart gone, there cant be many of them left now.
I read Leslie's autobiography about ten years ago, and as I recall he came from a working class family and studied acting at the Italia Conte school in London. He described how he started speaking "Posh" while his family still spoke with cockney accents.
RIP Leslie.
