Louise Clarke is the second member of the group to pass away. Flick Colby died at the age of 65 in May last year.

Philip Day, who has been a publicist for Pan’s People for more than 40 years, said Louise Clarke “was a lovely, lovely lady, she was a real darling”.

“Of all the clients I have had the good fortune to represent during all of those years, they were perhaps the most fun to work with, certainly the easiest to work with, were loyal to a fault and the very best at what they did.”

The group’s final appearance on Top of the Pops was in April 1976, when they danced to Silver Star by The Four Seasons.
