RIP Clive Dunn a comic Legend, thank you for the laughs time and time again I would also like to say RIP Corporal Jones, a genuine comic character of Legendary proportions. i know they are one and the same but i think Clive Dunn deserves 2 RIP's for his work on Dad's Army.

I think the vicar (Frank Williams) is still around. Heard him on the wireless fairly recently.

Just spent a good 40 mins reading that. What a life, ours pale into insignificance compared to what these lads went through in the war.

A very good read, thankyou for posting , my grandad was a fireman in the war, as he was too old to serve, as he died when I was 7 I never got to hear his stories, I love how Clive Dunn used to make the best of things and just laugh about stuff.

They played an old interview with him on the radio this evening. In it he said that his own grand-children were annoyed that they couldn't be in the video, but they had to go to school.

How times have changed. Imagine joining the ambulance service and being let loose on the job the next day nowadays.

RIP Clive.
