One commenter on the post said: "RIP Jimmy 'Eric' Martin you absolute legend."
Another said: "Sorry to hear that. Thank you for the memories."
A third added: "Met him on a couple of occasions, absolute gentleman! Wasn’t in a hurry to dart off. His charity for the Hollies day centre in Musselburgh won’t be forgotten!"
A fourth added: "My favourite in the show. Especially the bit he's talking about taking a p**h when Jack and Victor are trying to eat their soup. RIP."
The 93-year-old actor served in the Navy and had just been awarded a top royal honour.
