Timothy West, the esteemed actor known for his role in 'Day of the Jackal,' passed away peacefully at the age of 90, leaving behind his wife, Prunella Scales, who is struggling with vascular dementia. Their son, Samuel, revealed that Prunella, 92, is 'not well enough to take in' the news of her husband's death. They were married for over 60 years and shared a deep bond, often collaborating on stage and television projects, including the beloved show 'Great Canal Journeys.'

Their story was recently chronicled in Timothy's book, 'Pru & Me: A Love Story,' celebrating their long-lasting relationship.
