A star set decorator who befriended some of Hollywood’s greatest stars has lost his “treasure trove” of film memorabilia after a blaze ripped though his Budapest home.

Mark Rimmell, 91, known for his work in David Suchet’s Poirot series, In the Name of the Father (1993) and Hellboy II (2008), moved from Hampstead in northwest London to Budapest back in 2005 after he fell in love with the Hungarian capital during the making of the film Eragon (2006).
