Birmingham Walk of Stars award for Dad's Army star Ian Lavender

The Dad's Army actor Ian Lavender who played Private Pike in the hit TV series, has been recognised on Birmingham's Walk of Stars.

Birmingham-born Mr Lavender said he was "very proud" of hi home city when he received the honour.

He joins the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and ELO's Jeff Lynne, who have also been honoured on the Broad Street trail.

As Private Pike, he famously wore an Aston Villa scarf. The actor said when he attended his first game at Villa Park last year, he took the scarf with him.
