Fess Parker has died of natural causes at the age of 85.
The actor donned a racoon-skinned cap as both Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone in their respective TV series of the 1950s and '60s.
A long-time contract player for Disney, Parker starred as an adventurer in movies such as The Great Locomotive Chase, Old Yeller and Westward Ho, The Wagons!.
Following short-lived sitcom The Fess Parker Show in the early '70s, the star retired from acting and focused on wine making at the Fess Parker Family Winery and Vineyards.
He is survived by his wife Marcella Bella Rinehart and his two children, Fess Elisha III and Ashley Allen Rinehart.
Davy Crockett was one the first TV programmes I ever watched when I arrived in England
