Edward Woodward has died aged 79.
The actor – most famous for his roles in ‘The Wicker Man’ and ‘The Equalizer’ – passed away in the Royal Cornwall Hospital after suffering from pnemonia and other illnesses.
Mr Woodward’s agent Janet Price said in a statement: “He was universally loved and admired through his unforgettable roles in classic productions such as ‘Breaker Morant’, ‘The Wicker Man’, ‘Callan’, ‘The Equalizer’ and many more.
“He was equally fine and courageous in real life, never losing his brave spirit and wonderful humour throughout his illness.”
Edward is survived by his wife Michelle and three children.
Our thoughts are with Edward’s family.
