A cast member whose life featured in Michael Apted's Up documentary series has paid tribute to the director as a 'beacon of light' following his death aged 79.
Tony Walker, an actor and London taxi driver, was selected for the project from an East End primary school in 1963 and went on to become one of its best-known characters.
The Up series, which was initially directed by Paul Almond before being taken over by Apted in 1970, followed 14 children from the age of seven - with one documentary released every seven years.
Walker remained a close friend of Apted throughout life, attending screenings of his later films including James Bond feature The World Is Not Enough in 1999.
