Sorry to hear about your bad patch. Hope things improve for you and you get to meet some legends! Pics above and some small videos. I had a few minutes with him and he genuinely thanked me for my kind words, patted me on the back, then shook my hand. It was both a happy and sad moment, sad being that 'young Pike' was clearly in a bit of discomfort at one point. That got me right in the stomach. |

What marvellous photographs Dave and thanks also for sharing your thoughts and video clips mr2nut123.
It is indeed frustrating when you go somewhere and its a bad PA system, shouldn't really happen in the 21st century but it does.
I think it was lovely Ian turned up as clearly hes had a bout of ill health lately and also Frank turning up too, I hope they had time together to chat about the old days, but those pics of Ian with the young fans are great! Long live Dad's Army!

I've taken Ian's photo from the Blackpool Gazette article and put it on here.  |

Looks like he could have stepped right out of 'You Rang, M'Lord'!  |

Actually Ian appeared in a brilliant 1930's Ben Travers radio farce called Mischief, with Penelope Wilton, Joan Sanderson, Richard Vernon and many others in a brilliant farce. He looks right for that.

This is the son of Frank Pike and Ivy Samways.
Or I should say Sam Lavender, the son of Ian Lavender (Pike) and Suzanne Kerchiss (who played Ivy in My British Buddy). Gosh the resemblance to his Dad sure is strong:
