Giles was a self-taught animation artist, who worked his way up from office boy in a film company to become, in April 2000, 'Britain's Favourite Cartoonist of the 20th Century'.
For nearly 50 years his best-known creation, the infamous Giles Family including Grandma, Mother, Father, The Twins and the rest of the extended household, were brought to life with a combination of subversive political satire and gentle comedy.
In 1939 Giles was classified unfit for military service due to partial deafness, but was temporarily appointed Captain Giles after becoming war correspondent for Express newspapers in October 1943.
