The son of actors Timothy West and Prunella Scales, who have both died within the last two years, said their TV show Great Canal Journeys was really “a love story”.

Samuel West returned to the marina in Braunston, Northamptonshire, where they moored their boat, to unveil a plaque to their memory. He also opened this year’s Historic Boat Rally.

The All Creatures Great and Small actor said the support his family received when the show covered his mother’s dementia was “enormously moving”.

Unveiling a plaque at the Grand Union Canal, he said: “Sooner or later, all canal roads lead here, and all canal journeys end here.”
