Sad news today that iconic TV actor Clive Dunn, OBE passed away, from complications following surgery in Portugal.
Dunn was born in Covent Garden, into a family of actors and it was clear from a young age that he would be continuing the family tradition. He started acting professionally in the 1930s, until the outbreak of WWII, where he enlisted with the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars.
