"He came to about four of our major conventions. We have a permanent museum display in Bressingham in Norfolk where the outside scenes were filmed and Clive came to open it. He was such a likeable person in his own right and brought so much enjoyment to so many people through his acting. It is always sad when somebody dies but at 92 you can't say it was unexpected."
Mr Pritchard, retired head of supplies for Gloucestershire Police, added: "He did a lot of the stunts for Dad's Army himself. He was quite athletic.
"Although he dressed as a man of 70 he was only 40 when he did the series."
