Coronation Street star leaves more than £300,000 in his will after death aged 90

A High Court filing approved earlier this month revealed that David Daker's estate was valued at £306,787, reduced to £303,184 after liabilities were settled.
Daker, who died at 90, enjoyed a prolific television career beginning in 1967 on the BBC, later starring in ITV Coronation Street, Boon, Doctor Who, and Only Fools and Horses.
His second wife, Hilary, inherited his primary assets, while daughter Rebecca received his share of a £350,000 home in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire.
Tributes poured in from fans following his death, with supporters posting "Great actor who brightened up any role he played" and "RIP the never-less-than-splendid David Daker."
Born Colin David Daker, he trained at the Oxford Playhouse Theatre School after leaving his draughtsman apprenticeship, later serving in the Royal Air Force before joining Oldham Rep and The Royal Shakespeare Company.
