It was sad to learn Hollywood actor Gregory Peck has died at the age of 87.

He specialised in strong, upright characters such as in Spellbound, Duel In The Sun and To Kill A Mockingbird.

The film I particularly liked him in was 12 O'Clock High where he portrayed a bomber squadron commander.

He made more than 60 films and will be missed by so many people.
