BBC Antiques Roadshow expert Henry Sandon has passed away at the age of 95 on Christmas Day. The BBC star was at a care home in Worcestershire when he sadly died on Monday.
His son, John, confirmed the heartbreaking news and stated that his late father was like a "favourite uncle" to the nation. John said: "To the millions who tuned in every Sunday evening to watch The Antiques Roadshow, Henry was like a favourite uncle, whose enthusiasm for even the humblest piece of chipped china was infectious.
His joy when he discovered a rare Staffordshire pottery owl jug, nicknamed 'Ozzie', was a magic TV moment few will forget." Henry made his first appearance on the BBC show in 1979 and instantly won over the hearts of the nation with his expertise every week.
