Roger Lloyd-Pack, star of two of the UK's most popular sitcoms, has died at the age of 69.
Best known for his deadpan delivery and demeanour in Only Fools And Horses and The Vicar Of Dibley, Lloyd-Pack played an incredible variety of roles during a TV, film and stage career which began in the 1960s.
Born in Islington in 1944 and educated at Bedales boarding school in Hampshire, he was regarded by colleagues as a gifted professional in productions as varied as pantomimes, police drama The Bill, and Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
Here we take a look back at ten of his best loved roles.
Owen Newitt, The Vicar of Dibley
Lloyd-Pack played Newitt, a farmer who loved to swear, between 1994 and 2007. His character was a member of Dibley Parish Council and was often late for meetings with absurd excuses.
