Patrick Macnee THE AVENGER Died today

[Matt Deckard]

My bowler hat is on for you tonight Patrick Macnee! My style could never compare. Your acting gave you a presence of being neither aristocratic nor popper… just gentleman. I enjoyed every moment you were on film. You will be missed.

Patrick Mac Nee was to my TV watching generation of the 60's and 70's the quintessential british gentleman, I have fond childhood memories of The Avengers, a show the whole family watched together.
Gone but not forgotten.
I also will be wearing my bowler with pride.

A class act and alongside Diana Rigg a classy duo. He gave it a good run.

I enjoyed the show very much.

Loved the Avengers and John Steed.

A much more entertaining obituary from the Daily Telegraph. What a life!

Nobody wore a hat better than Patrick Macnee. He personified stylish and witty. He and Diana Rigg remain among the best duos ever.

Patrick Macnee, in his role as John Steed in "The Avengers", was most likely the most reknowned bowler-wearing personage ever, even more so than Charlie Chaplin.

Please note how a gentleman carefully matches his suit, necktie, bowler, and umbrella, with the polo jumper that his lady associate wears.

His bowlers appear to have a relatively short crown.
