THE FUNERAL of Dr Who star Jon Pertwee took place yesterday at an undisclosed cemetery in London.<br />

Pertwee (76) died last Monday while on holiday in America. He was with his German-born novelist wife Ingeborg.<br />
<br />
At her request journalists and fans were not notified of the ceremony which was for close family and friends only. his agent said yesterday.<br />

Pertwee lived in Putney, London, for many years and the funeral was reportedly also attended by broadcaster and long time friend David Jacobs. A memorial service is being planned for later this year.<br />

Pertwee enjoyed a long and successful stage and radio career before becoming the third Doctor Who in 1970.<br />
<br />
His most popular appearance in the sci-fi series was in a [[broadwcast:The Three Doctors|Three Doctors]] episode which was watched by 10.3 million people.<br />
