Actor Dudley Sutton, known for playing Tinker Dill in the TV series Lovejoy, has died aged 85.
The actor's management said he died on peacefully surrounded by friends and family on Saturday afternoon following a battle with cancer.
Sutton starred opposite Ian McShane in Lovejoy throughout the 70-episode run of the BBC comedy-drama mystery series between 1986 to 1994.
He played a tout whose friendship with McShane's titular roguish antique dealer was central to the programme.
Sutton's family said in a statement: "Today we're devastated by the loss of our beautiful Dudley, who leaves a gaping hole in all our lives.
"We're grateful for the love expressed by friends and fans everywhere and for the extraordinary care he received at the Royal Trinity Hospice in Clapham, south London, where he went out fighting for our NHS."
Chris Jury, who played Eric Catchpole in Lovejoy, led tributes to Sutton on social media.
He wrote: "My dear, dear pal Dudley Sutton died today. I loved him dearly. Condolences to Fanny, Peter, Barnaby, Wally and Jacqueline and all the rest of his family... Love you Duds."
Sutton's other TV appearances included a special Christmas episode of BBC sitcom Porridge, in which he played hostage taker Reg Urwin opposite Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale.
He also starred in an instalment of ITV crime drama The Sweeney.
In his later career he had a recurring role as conman Wilfred Atkins in BBC soap Eastenders, as well as smaller parts in Holby City and Channel 4 teenage drama Skins.
