Lelands career spanned over five decades.
David Leland holds a mighty place in my heart, said Brosnan in a tribute.
I was just out of Drama Centre where David was also an alumni.

It was the thrill of my young lifetime to be cast as McCabe, working with David and Tennessee.
David will forever be an essential part of my story and of all who knew and loved him.
He returned as joint showrunner for the second season.
He changed my life, and I love him for it.
Ill keep him with me always.
David was a dream to work with, said Neeson, who starred inThe Big Manfor Leland.
He was a real collaborator; he genuinely loved and admired actors.
We formed a close bond.
I loved his mischievous sense of humour.
You are always in my heart old friend.
See you down the road.
Long-time friend and early collaborator Gilliam added: The loss of David is very sad.
His 1987 film,Wish You Were Here, is still one of my all-time favourite British films.
Leland is survived by his wife, four daughters, son and six grandchildren.
