Dad's Army star Arthur Lowe honoured with blue plaque
A blue plaque dedicated to Dad's Army star Arthur Lowe was unveiled at his Derbyshire birthplace by comedy co-star Ian Lavender.
Lavender, who played Private Pike in the long-running sitcom, was in Hayfield to lead the tribute to the much-loved Captain Mainwaring actor.
The ceremony was organised by Derbyshire County Council following a vote on its website.
Lavender said he thought Lowe would have been "chuffed" with the honour.
