Sad to hear that Geoffrey Hughes has passed away after his battle with prostate cancer. I best knew him for his character Twiggy in The Royle Family and Onslow in Keeping Up Appearances. Had the privilege of meeting the man at Collectormania a few years back.

RIP Geoffrey.

RIP :( Such a shock to have him go.
Goes by the name of Cassie. Kai Owen gave me a nickname of sorts at Hub 7, but it's far too rude for this signature.
