The family of All Creatures Great and Small star Robert Hardy have paid tribute to the 'gruff, elegant, twinkly, and always dignified' actor following his death aged 91.
The actor was best known for his roles as vet Siegfried Farnon in the BBC show, which was popular in the Seventies and Eighties, and as Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter franchise.
In a statement announcing his death this afternoon, Hardy's children, Emma, Justine and Paul, described their father's life as 'tremendous'.
He had a career in stage, television and film which spanned more than 70 years.

Paying tribute, Hardy's children said: 'Dad is remembered as a meticulous linguist, a fine artist, a lover of music and a champion of literature, as well as a highly respected historian, and a leading specialist on the longbow. 
'He was an essential part of the team that raised the great Tudor warship The Mary Rose.
'He is celebrated by all who knew him and loved him, and everyone who enjoyed his work.'
The statement added: 'We are immensely grateful to the team at Denville Hall [a home for retired actors] for the tender care they gave during his last weeks.'
