Just heard the sad news.
I often used to see him from my office walking down to Granada Studios when I worked in Manchester.

He was close to being a National Institution just like several other actors in Coronation Street but above all he was a great actor and apparently a very nice man
He will be sadly missed _________________ Are you ready for a Ruddles? |

Alan Halsall (Tyrone) was visibly upset, talking about Bill, on the TV last night ...hearing others, from the cast,talking about him he was obviously much loved. |
