Tributes have poured in for the cinematographer behind a series of British films known as Ealing Comedies, who has died at the age of 103.

Douglas Slocombe, who worked on Ealing Comedies at Ealing Studios, died in the early hours of Tuesday (February 23).

He was also the cinematographer behind the first three Indiana Jones films.

Writer and broadcaster Matthew Sweet said: "The great cinematographer Douglas Slocombe died early this morning (February 23).

"But what he bequeathed us will never die."

Meanwhile BBC Films tweeted to say: "RIP Douglas Slocombe, Ealing Comedies & Indiana Jones British Cinematographer, who passed away last night."

His work on Ealing Comedies included Kind Hearts and Corenets, which was among a series of comedy films produced during the 1940s and 1950s.

The film was based on one man seeking to avenge his mothers death.

His work in Ealing comedies was produced at the Ealing Studios, at Ealing Green.

He had been persuaded to join Ealing Studios after his work as a cameraman in shooting the Nazi invasion of Poland.

His work in shooting the invasion was used in a documentary called Lights Out in Europe.
