Funeral date for John Inman

4:10pm Monday 19th March 2007

The funeral service of the late comedy actor, John Inman, will take place on Friday at a private location.

A memorial service is planned for later this year which will be open to the public.

The actor, famous for the catchphrase, I'm free', in the 1970s sitcom, Are You Being Served?, died on Thursday, March 8, after a long illness. He was 71.

Mr Inman was born in Preston and moved to Blackpool when he was 12. He made his stage debut a year later at the resort's South Pier. Members of his family still live on the Fylde.

I was lucky enough to know John. He was a cheristed friend. He was kind and easy to talk with - a good listener. We will miss him and think of him often.

How sad that such a great man had to leave so early. He was so unbelievably talented but seemed so unaffected. In his interviews he just seemed like a kind person. He will be missed.
