The Archers actress Sara Coward has died of cancer aged 69.

Sara, who had played Caroline Sterling on the much-loved BBC Radio 4 drama since 1977, was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year when she found a lump on her neck and swelling in her right arm, shortly after recovering from breast cancer and a mastectomy.

As well as her regular role in the show, Sara was a writer and stage actor, and spent eight years working for the Samaritans charity in Stratford-upon-Avon.
