British actor Tyler Butterworth has paid tribute to his actress mother Janet Brown following her death on Friday.
The 87-year-old star, known for her impersonations of former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, passed away in her sleep at a nursing home in Hove, south east England, following a short illness.
Brown is survived by Butterworth, her son by late Carry On star Peter Butterworth, and he has now spoken out in his grief to remember his beloved mum.
He tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "I'll miss her terribly. She was a devoted mother, and a devoted grandmother - my son will miss her terribly, too. But we are terribly lucky to be left with all these incredible memories of her. She was wonderful to be around and she worked incredibly hard.
"I remember how she used to say that people responded to her in a different way as soon as she put on her Thatcher wig - it was strangely empowering. Occasionally people would heckle when she played Thatcher, but she joked that being in character gave her an uncanny ability to shoot people down with a razor-sharp comeback. She loved playing Mrs T.
"She will always be remembered for Mrs Thatcher, but I will always remember her from earlier when we travelled with her as she worked summer seasons at resorts and pantomime at Christmas. It was tremendous fun and we had a wonderful time."...

The veteran star, known for her impersonations of former U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, passed away in her sleep at a nursing home in Hove, south east England. Her death comes following a short illness, according to her agent Susan Angel.
Brown began her career in the 1930s, but it wasn't until the 1970s that she really found fame, showing off her impersonation skills during appearances on The Mike Yarwood Show.
