Comic Actress Holland Dies
Former Hi-de-hi! star Diane Holland has died, aged 78.
The British actress passed away on 24 January following a battle with bronchial pneumonia.
A private family funeral will be held on 28 February, followed by a public memorial service later this year.
Holland started her career in musical theatre and went on to appear in a series of successful U.K. TV shows.
She was best known for her role as dance instructor Yvonne Stewart-Hargreaves in the 1980s sitcom Hi-De-Hi, set in a British holiday camp.
Paying tribute to the late star, her agent Bo Keller says: "She had a very dry sense of humour, extremely kind hearted. I miss her very much. She was a real trooper. You could throw anything at her and she'd do it.
