Beryl Cooke (1 November 1906 - 21 August 2001) was a British actress.[1] Her career spanned six decades; she is most familiar to British audiences as Aunt Lucy in the sitcom Happy Ever After and Mrs. Vance in the BBC drama Tenko.[2]

Cooke made an appearance in British comedy Only Fools and Horses, in the episode "The Second Time Around (Only Fools and Horses)", as a woman Del Boy (David Jason) and Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst) believe to be Aunt Rose, but it later emerges that Aunt Rose moved many years ago, and the Trotters live under the pretence of being the adopted children of Joannie Hollins and her Jamaican boyfriend.
