Harry Slater is the late father of ex-police officer Roy Slater first mentioned in "May The Force Be With You" when his son arrested him for having a defective rear light on his bicycle. Harry would die a few years after Roy was arrested in "To Hull and Back", and Harry's widowed wife Ruby wrote a letter to the prison governor not to give her son compassionate parole.

Backstory

Harry Slater met and married Ruby Slater in about 1943 and they had a son Roy Slater in May 1945 and a daughter in about 1946. In the 1960s Harry borrowed his young policeman son Roy's bike, and the rear light was defective. Roy nicked his own father. Harry also suffered a breakdown due to his son joining the police force and he was put in a mental asylum.

In 1985 Harry was still in an asylum and was mentioned by his wife Ruby in To Hull And Back - (25th December 1985) when she was having a drink with Albert Trotter.

By 1991 Harry had passed away. Roy Slater mentioned this in The Class of 62 - (20th January 1991) that his dad had died in prison and Derek "Del Boy" Trotter said he went to his funeral. His exact death date is unknown.
