The Archers legend Sara Coward dies aged 69
Sara, who played Caroline Sterling on the Radio 4 show, died after being told she had just three months to live in September last year.
Best known for playing the owner of Grey Gables and landlady to the Grundys, Sara made her first appearance in The Archers in 1977.
She made her last appearance in the soap in September 2016 – marking nearly four decades in the role.
She twice appeared alongside royal guests on the show, firstly with Princess Margaret in 1984 and opposite the Duchess of Cornwall in 2011.
Editor of the show, Huw Kennair-Jones paid tribute to the star, saying everyone who worked with her is ‘very sad’ after hearing the devastating news.
He told The Mirror: ‘Sara was a gifted actress with a unique voice.
‘Even when she was navigating the tribulations of Caroline Sterling’s love life, Sara’s deft wit and clever characterisation meant Caroline was never solely defined by her relationships but always as a fully rounded, intriguing woman of substance.
