Ivor Emmanuel, renowned for his rendition of Welsh song Men of Harlech in the classic film Zulu, has died.

He was born in 1927, in Pontrhydyfen, near Port Talbot, the same village as fellow actor Richard Burton.

The Hollywood star helped give him his theatrical break, and he became a popular TV name in the 1950s.

He will probably be best remembered for 1964's Zulu, showing the British Army, many of them Welsh, defying an attack at Rorke's Drift in South Africa.
