Bafta-winning actor Lee Montague, a star of both stage and screen, has died aged 97.

Montague was perhaps best known for appearing in Bergerac as Henri Dupont in several episodes and also featured in shows including The Sweeney and Seconds Out.

Montague's death was announced earlier this week by the Keats Community Library, where he served as president for life.

Fellow actor, Monty Python star Michael Palin led the tributes to the Jackanory storyteller saying it was "always a pleasure to share a stage with him".

Keats Community Library said they were "deeply sad" to announce Montague's death, describing him as a "highly respected actor" who was also "vital to our success".
