Subject: Minder star George Cole dies at 90

Written By: Philip Eno on 08/06/15 at 6:40 am

Actor George Cole, best known for playing Arthur Daley in TV's Minder, has died aged 90.

Cole played the Cockney wheeler dealer Daley for 16 years, between 1979 and 1994.

He also starred in a number of St Trinian's films as shady businessman Flash Harry.

Agent Derek Webster said Cole had died at the Royal Berkshire hospital following a short illness, surrounded by his family.

"It is with deep regret that I have to announce the sad death of one of our most loved and respected actors," he said.

The theme tune to the series that made actor George Cole a TV favourite has been played at his funeral. Dennis Waterman, his co-star for more than a decade, is reading a eulogy at the ceremony, which began at Reading Crematorium at 11:30 BST. The upbeat song "I Could Be So Good for You" was a hit for Waterman in 1980.
