Steeplejack Fred Dibnah, 66, has lost his three-year fight against cancer only weeks after filming his final television series, the BBC said today.
Bolton-born Mr Dibnah turned down treatment to tour the UK on a traction engine as part of a 12-part BBC Two series.
Mr Dibnah cancelled all engagements in September after he was taken ill during filming Made In Britain.
He died today surrounded by friends and family at Bolton Hospice.
