of British Fight Directors, intended to regulate fighting on stage and screen, and he arranged the Get Carter fight with Caine. He also endowed a fencing award at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Mosley was sometimes credited as Buddy Windrush. Personal life and death Mosley married schoolteacher and childhood sweetheart Norma Bowes in Leeds, West Yorkshire, on 25 July 1956. The couple first met in the early 1940s whilst they both attended a local Youth club, at the Belle Vue Methodist Church, and after an engagement of four years, the pair remained married until Mosley's death. They had six children between 1957 and 1966; three sons (Jonathan, Bernard and Leonard) and three daughters (Jacqueline, Simone and Helen). The family lived in Nab Wood, near Shipley, West Yorkshire. Mosley was a practising Roman Catholic who had made at least one pilgrimage to Lourdes. He was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Bradford. Mosley was a keen painter and trained at the Leeds College of Art. He was an honorary member of the British Watercolours Society, Ilkley, where he regularly exhibited his work. Mosley also wrote a regular column for The Weekly News. In later life he began to suffer from cardiac troubles, and suffered his first heart attack in 1991. After a second more serious heart attack in 1997, he lost four stone in weight. In addition, Mosley had respiratory problems, and was told by producers of Coronation Street to leave the programme, ultimately leading him to give up his role as Alf Roberts. On 9 February 1999, Mosley collapsed in the street outside the Market Hall, Westgate, near his home in Shipley. His wife was by his side and he was immediately taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary, but died on arrival from a heart attack, aged 67. His funeral took place a week later, on 16 February 1999, at St Mary and St Walburga Church, Shipley, attended by relatives and close friends, including Eileen Derbyshire. Following the private ceremony, Mosley was cremated at Nab Wood Crematorium, Shipley, with his Coronation Street character's trademark trilby laid on his coffin; a brass band played "For All The Saints". His widow, Norma, asked fans to light a candle in the window of their homes in tribute, stating "Although the ceremony is a private event, people can join us in spirit and place a lighted candle for Bryan in their window."
