Actress Una Stubbs arrives for the service of celebration and thanksgiving for the life of writer Keith Waterhouse at St Paul's Church, London.

Her family said: “Mum passed away quietly today with her family around her, in Edinburgh.

“We ask for privacy and understanding at this most difficult and sad of times.”

Her agent Rebecca Blond, who represented the actress for more than 20 years, said she will “miss her enormously”.

She said: “We are desperately sad to have lost not only a wonderful actress, whose screen and stage career, spanning over 50 years, was so extraordinarily varied, from Till Death Us Do Part to Sherlock, as well as memorable performances in the West End, at the Old Vic, Donmar Warehouse, Sheffield Crucible and National Theatre, but also a wickedly funny, elegant, stylish, graceful, gracious and kind and constant friend.

“She was also a highly respected and exhibited artist. We will miss her enormously and remember her always.”

Stubbs found fame in the 1960s, starring in films like Summer Holiday alongside Sir Cliff Richard and playing Rita Rawlings in the BBC sitcom Till Death Us Do Part.

She went on to star in as Aunt Sally in Worzel Gummidge in the late 70s and Miss Bat in The Worst Witch in the late 1990s.

She also appeared on EastEnders, The Catherine Tate Show and the sitcom Benidorm.

In addition to her work as an actress, Stubbs was a keen amateur painter who had her work displayed at the Royal Academy in London.

TV channel Gold paid tribute to Una Stubbs following news of her death.

In a tweet, they said: “We’re all deeply saddened to learn that the magnificent Una Stubbs has passed away at the age of 84. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time”.

Broadcaster Gyles Brandreth also tweeted: “Oh, this is so sad. Such a funny, lovely, gifted lady – a marvellous actress with a special style & a great (and impish) sense of humour.

“I first met her when she was in Cowardy Custard in 1972 & last saw her at Nicky Henson’s funeral last year. A sad day.”
