Former Eastenders actor Bardon dies
Actor John Bardon, who was known by millions for his role as Jim Branning in EastEnders, has died at the age of 75.
He is understood to have died in the early hours of this morning, seven years after a debilitating stroke which has left him needing round-the-clock care in recent years. His death was announced by the BBC.
Actress June Brown - who played his screen wife Dot - said: "I am so sorry that John has passed away but hope that he is now at peace after seven difficult years.
"I shall miss him very much as I loved him dearly. My thoughts are with his devoted wife Enda," she added.
