So sorry to hear the lovely Damaris Hayman has passed. I know doctor who fans had a special place in their hearts for her and will never forget her honorary position as a member of the UNIT family when things went bump in the night at Devil's End.
She off course had a very long and varied career, through stage and screen, small and large. And could count some absolute icons of British cinema as close friends and collaborators. In many ways she embodied a very sweet Englishness which is passing from this world. I can hear Larry Adler's harmonica in the distance or maybe it is just an autumnal breeze stirring the old English oaks.
In the garden of Damaris the lark will forever be ascending.
