Actress Una Stubbs has died at the age of 84 after a long career that saw her best known for roles in the film Summer Holiday, BBC sitcoms Till Death Us Do Part and In Sickness And In Health, and children’s TV favourite Worzel Gummidge.
The 1963 film Summer Holiday helped to make Stubbs’ name after she starred in the musical alongside Sir Cliff Richard.
