Emmerdale actor Ronald Magill, who starred in the ITV soap for 19 years, has passed away at age of 87.
The soap star, who played the part of Amos Brearly, joined the programme in 1972 when it was known as Emmerdale Farm.
Brearly was a long-standing character in the show alongside the likes of Wilks and Annie Sugden and was famed for his impressive bushy sideburns.
He returned to the soap in 1995 for occasional appearances, including a wedding storyline for his character to Annie.
Magill was originally from Hull, and began his acting career at the Nottingham Playhouse, where he returned later in his career to be named artistic director.
