We're very sad to hear that Ronald Pickup has died.

Ronald was an exceptional actor and had a long history with the NT, starting with 1964's The Royal Hunt of the Sun.

He went on to feature in 36 of our productions, and was a regular at The Old Vic under Laurence Olivier. pic.twitter.com/C6wBmAnSNA
