Actress Barbara Young, who starred in Coronation Street and Last of the Summer Wine, has died aged 92.

Her daughter, Liza Pulman, said she had died after receiving "remarkable care" at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.

Young, who also worked on Family Affairs, Doctors and Casualty, was described by Ms Pulman on Instagram as "beautiful, brilliant, opinionated, loud, warm-hearted and talented".

Comedian Dawn French responded: "Love all around you, sweet L."

Born on 9 February 1931, Young had various parts over the years in ITV soap Coronation Street including as Barbara Platt, the mother of Martin Platt, who married Gail, and most recently as Rita Sullivan's friend Doreen Fenwick.

After arriving as Doreen in 2007, she received a marriage proposal from Norris Cole and was at one point told to pack her bags by Rita before they made up.
