Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson has died at the age of 83.
His son Jamie said he died peacefully in his sleep at midday on Boxing Day, having suffered with mixed dementia for the past few years.
Anderson also created Captain Scarlet, Stingray, Joe 90 and Space:1999.
Nick Williams, the chairman of the Fanderson fand club, said: "To those who met him Gerry was a quiet, unassuming but determined man.
"His desire to make the best films he could drove him and his talented teams to innovate, take risks, and do everything necessary to produce quite inspirational works.
"Gerry's legacy is that he inspired so many people and continues to bring so much joy to so many millions of people around the world."
Anderson was diagnosed with mixed dementia two years ago and his condition worsened over the past six months.
Having already decided with his family on a care home for himself earlier this year, he moved in there in October.
