David Jason had made his first public appearance following the death of Only Fools and Horses star, Diane Langton. Braving the cold on Wednesday night, the actor walked the red carpet at the Cirque du Soleil Corteo premiere in London.
Arriving at the Royal Albert Hall, David, 84, appeared to channel his TV counterpart, Derek Trotter, as he sported a tweed flat cap and a tailored coat. Joined by his wife of 20 years, Gill Hinchliffe, and their daughter, Sophie, the trio cuddled up for photos.
