Actor and honorary Cockney

An incredibly full life ; He was alive at the same time as Wyatt Earp

David Attenborough could also reach 100 next May, but Stanley Baxter checked out today aged 99

Saw him tell a lovely story.  Apparently after Sean Connery left the Bond role Dick Van Dyke was kind of offered the role but as much as he was honoured, he said "have you heard my British accent?!"

He should get an honorary birthday card from the King. That would be mildly amusing.

The Chim Chim Cher-ee part of Mary Poppins is the most charming thing.

Well played Mr Van Dyke bringing up your century
Was an alcoholic during the making of Mary Poppins which made the dancing hard work 
Was previously in the Dick Van Dyke Show created by Carl Reiner alongside Mary Tyler Moore which I watched as a kid
