Very sorry to see this. Amazing actress and comedian who illuminated anything she appeared in.

Such a legend ❤️

Loved June . Husband just said she kicked the first ever football for his Saturday morning little league back in 1968.

Bless her socks. Loved June.

Terry and June remember always

Very sad

She also used to play Ethel (Ron and Eth) in the Jimmy Edwards show. I once heard her parodied as “April Eastermeadow”.

Grew up watching her on Ab Fab,such a amazing,funny actress r.i.p

She’s an Aussie I think.

abbyaug Sad news, she had a long and distinguished career.

BBC ❤️

Wonderful actress R.I.P

Sad news ... but what a career she had

NO!

Legend

'Oh, Ron'

hullfair Bereft.....rip great lady

So sorry! She was a brilliant actress. I do hope the focus will not be on her ‘AbFab’ work: she played infinitely more challenging roles, especially on the radio - from Eth in ‘Take it from Here’ to Miss Marple. Always brilliant! Sad news.

LOVED this wonderful actress! RIP beautiful Dame!❤️😥

Oh Jooone! 😢

Mrs Prodworthy..one of my favourite Carry On characters...RIP Juney.....

Aw :( she also voiced Ms. Marple In those BBC radio dramas...

She should not be so quickly associated with that absolute gutter trash. She achieved far greater things. That was very much a low point in her career.

Very sad. RIP

Please dont show Terry and June.

Oh no, thought she was brilliant in ab fab

🙏

God bless you x

Fabulous actress, RIP 🙏
