Tributes have been paid to Dad’s Army star Frank Williams following his death at the age of 90. The actor was best known for his role as Reverend Timothy Farthing in the BBC sitcom.
The news of his death was announced on Facebook on Sunday, with a message saying: “So sorry to say that our beloved friend, colleague and actor Frank Williams passed away this morning. “He was almost 91, and we are grateful for all the years of joy, laughter and happiness he brought to so many. Thank you Frank! x”.
Williams, who appeared in Dad’s Army for nearly a decade, reprised his role as the vicar of Walmington-on-Sea in the 2016 film, which also starred Bill Nighy and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Speaking at the time, he said: “It takes me back to a very happy time in my life when I was doing Dad’s Army originally and, as my scenes are in the church hall, it was very much like coming home again.”
