An Antiques Roadshow expert has paid tribute to his pet cat - that died after appearing on the opening credits of the show for years. Minou was best known for rushing across the screen at the start of the BBC show - making a Greek-looking vase wobble.
The feline was owned by TV antiques expert Marc Allum and was put to sleep by a vet on March 2 after suffering deteriorating health aged nearly 17. Not only was Minou a famous face on TV but he was also a popular face in his hometown of Chippenham, Wiltshire.
He was often found sitting on the wall of his home - obtaining much-wanted attention from passersby throughout the day. Marc said Minou, affectionately known as Minty, was rescued as a small kitten in France.
