The news was confirmed in the announcements section of The Times with a tribute from the actor's family, saying: "Actor and artist, died in his sleep 12th June 2017, aged 101.
"Beloved brother-in-law, uncle and great uncle. Funeral on 21st June, at Mortlake Crematorium."
During his acting career, Sam Beazley took on roles in British comedies including Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Johnny English, as well as appearing in Midsomer Murders, Doctors, Casualty and two episodes of Little Britain back in 2005.
