A comedian who has been working in the entertainment industry for more than six decades said "people's laughter" has kept him going.
James Dawn, 80, started sending comedy scripts to the BBC when he was 18 and has written material for some of the greats including Bob Monkhouse, Tom O'Connor, Russ Abbott and Les Dennis.
Dawn, who said he believed he is the oldest working comedian in the UK, spent much of his career doing stand-up gigs and can still be seen touring on the comedy circuit.
"I love it when you hit the end of a gag and, bang, they're rolling. It raises the soul somehow," said Dawn, who lives in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire.
