Trivia
At the time of his death at 110 years of age, he was thought to have been the oldest man living in the greater London area, and the second oldest man living in the United Kingdom overall. He spent 3 days as both a super-centenarian and the UK's 2nd oldest man, following the death of John Gordon Farringdon (7 June 1913 - 13 August 2024) from Warwickshire.

Quotes
David [Lean] was so handsome. He was a huge womaniser: to my knowledge, he had almost 1,000 women. When we shot [Hobson's Choice (1954)] in the streets, people asked: "Who's that good-looking actor?" I had to say: "That's not the leading man, it's the director."
