"He was quoting some Wordsworth," Harrison said. "Lonely as a cloud, I think."

The cafe employee said that Mr Robinson had also been taking the time to chat to customers who were sat outside.

Although best known for his role as Baldrick in the BBC sitcom, the comedian has more recently been working as a TV presenter on shows such as Time Team and Walking Through History.
