Very sad news. My dearest friend Tony Armatrading died of cancer an hour ago.
I had the privilege of being his best man, and loved him dearly. He was a wonderful actor, and a true friend. This pic of him with Suzy and Dash taken last night. pic.twitter.com/DfnFqtpOyj— Tim Bentinck (@timbentinck) May 10, 2021
