Title: Vicar of Dibley star dies at 78
Post by: Simon on January 11, 2022, 16:59

Vicar Of Dibley star Gary Waldhorn has died at the age of 78.

The actor was best known for playing bullish Councillor David Horton in every episode of the popular TV sitcom from 1994 to 2007.

His most recent appearance came in a Christmas special, The Vicar Of Dibley In Lockdown, alongside star Dawn French, who plays Rev Geraldine Granger, and James Fleet, who plays his on-screen son Hugo.

His son, Josh Waldhorn, said he "peacefully passed away" at 6.45am on Monday.

"We will all miss him terribly," he said.

He was probably my least favourite character on the show.   :rip:

He was probably meant to be.  :)

There really can't be many of the Dibley cast left now.
