She is one of the best-loved matriarchs in broadcasting. As Peggy Woolley in The Archers, she's the only original member of the cast still in the show.
It's 60 years this spring since the pilot episodes were first broadcast and, although she is now aged 90, June has no plans to retire.
She says, 'It's a great bonus for me that The Archers has run as long as it has, and I've gone along with it.'
