A WW2 Veteran was honoured at a special event for the Queen’s 90th birthday.
Frank Williams, 84, delivered a speech at the St Mary-at-Finchley church, to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s birthday, but he was also honored for his service.
Mr Williams, originally played Rev Timothy Farthing in the original 1980s series, and was thrilled when he was asked to cameo in the 2016 Dad's Army film alongside actors Toby Jones and Bill Nighy.

Her crown was based for the Queen’s crown at her coronation in 1953.
Organiser Lynn Radnedge said: “We hope it raised a significant sum for our church roof fund – certainly several hundred pounds, but beyond that it raised everyone’s spirits and brought people of all ages together from different parts of the borough.”
