Arthur Lucan

[2] When he was five years old, the family moved to nearby Boston, Lincolnshire, where Arthur later made his first acting appearance at the town's Shodfriars Hall.

The couple had one son, Donald Daniel Towle (2 October 1915, Dublin  – 10 February 1975, Par, Cornwall), and became a successful double act.

The site of his death now houses a bakery and cafe, where there is a memorial bust of Arthur Lucan, together with various memorabilia from his career.

In 1982, Alan Plater wrote a play, On Your Way, Riley, about the life of Arthur Lucan, with songs by Alex Glasgow.

[5] A Greater London Council blue plaque, unveiled in 1978, commemorates Lucan at his home, 11 Forty Lane in Wembley.

In recent years, the club has held Old Mother Riley evenings, as a tribute to Lucan's talent.
