Glaswegian comic actor and impressionist Stanley Baxter has died at the age of 99.
Baxter was bold enough to mimic the Pope and even the Queen and sent up his native city with comic routines based on Glaswegian patois.
The Scot received several awards during his career, including a lifetime achievement award at the British Comedy Awards and two TV tribute programmes.
His friend and biographer Brian Beacom said the TV star died on Thursday in a north London care home for entertainment figures.
He had lived in the home, Denville Hall, since late 2023 and was a few months away from celebrating his 100th birthday.
