The last blood doner: Farewell June Whitfield.

[Paul S]

June Whitfield has died at the age of 93.

Is there anyone left who appeared alongside Tony Hancock?

[Nocturnal Submission]

Oh, that's a shame. She always looked in incredible nick for her age. RIP.

[Del Usory]

Andrée Melly?

Yet another sign of age is seeing headlines in which she is described as "star of absolutely fabulous"

[Southport Zeb]

A spare twenty minutes is livened up by a read through of Terry and June plots

As someone remarked on Twitter, amazing that she was in both Hancock and Friends - two shows several generations apart that both defined their eras and specifically how comedy depicted those eras.

Did Panto with her in the 80's, she was an absolute pleasure to work with.

A lot of people thought my Mum (who died in September) and her looked quite alike. But Mum was a mere 88.

RIP a nice lady.

[Nocturnal Submission]

With Frankie Howerd, she recorded a version of the song Je T'aime, but even their spoof, complete with ironic heavy breathing, was considered too risque for the time and was famously banned by the BBC.

Fantastic.

[Gangster Octopus]

Ooo Ron...

[diggedy derek]

Lucy – that's absolutely amazing.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Oh dear. Like GO my earliest memory of her is as Ethel ("Eth") Glum. A proper top comedy actor, immaculate delivery, brilliant timing. Ta ta love, and thanks.

June Whitfield has died at the age of 93.

Is there anyone left who appeared alongside Tony Hancock?

The impressionist Peter Goodwright, probably best remembered for "Who do you do?" in the 70s, appeared in some radio episodes of Hancock's Half Hour and is still with us.

A real shame. RIP.
