FRANCIS MATTHEWS

It is with great sadness that we announce the death on the 14 June of our long-standing client Francis Matthews. A matinee idol, comic genius and a true gentleman, probably best known for playing the eponymous role in TV’s Paul Temple, we were really proud to represent him. The fact that he was a firm favourite of Morecambe and Wise, appearing in several of their comedy specials and in all of their films, we think speaks volumes. There are excellent obituaries to be found in the Guardian, The Times and the Yorkshire Evening Post. We extend our condolences to his family and friends.

If you would like to get in touch with us regarding the funeral, please feel free to do so.
