British comedian and actor Rik Mayall, who found fame in the cult TV series The Young Ones, has died aged 56.
The star, whose portrayal of puerile anarchist Rick in the BBC comedy endeared him to a generation of viewers in the 1980s, became one of Britain's best-known comic actors.
He also appeared in Blackadder alongside Rowan Atkinson, as a cynical Conservative politician in The New Statesman and was reunited with Young Ones co-star Ade Edmondson in Bottom.
As tributes flow in, we take a look at his funniest moments.
Who could forget Lord Flashheart's grand entrance in Black Adder? Woof!
"Oh Cliff! Sometimes it must be difficult to not feel as if, you really are a cliff." That time Myall dedicated a poem to singer Cliff Richard in The Young Ones.
A classic moment in The Young Ones, featuring Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry, Ben Elton and Hugh Laurie.
In 1991, Myall played a girl's imaginary friend in cult flick Drop Dead Fred.
