EastEnders Actor Dies 

Tony Caunter, who played Roy Evans in EastEnders, has died aged 88, his family has announced.

The actor played a car dealer with a love interest for Pam St Clement's character Pat Butcher, in the British soap from 1994 to 2003. 

In a statement, his family said he died "peacefully" on Monday evening at Eastbourne District General Hospital, just eight days after his wife of 63 years, Fran. 

They said: "It is with enormous sadness that we bring the curtain down on our wonderful and hugely loved father." 

Mr Caunter leaves a daughter, three sons, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, the statement said. 

"He will be missed by all," it added. 

The family thanked staff at the East Sussex hospital for their "incredible care" during his final hours, alongside everyone at the Eastbourne Gardens nursing home for their "care and compassion" in recent months. 

They ended their statement by requesting privacy "at this extremely difficult time".
