Tributes have been paid to Only Fools and Horses actor Patrick Murray who has died aged 68.
Murray was best known as cockney geezer Mickey Pearce in the long-running BBC sitcom.
The Only Fools and Horses Facebook page posted the news and also their favoruite memory of Murray: "People often ask me how I acquired the club's collection of props, costumes and scripts etc,
The answer is usually direct from the actors, crew or BBC
But I thought I'd share the story of how I got Mickey Pearce's outfit back in 2003
I was at Patrick's house when I noticed hanging on the back of his door a black leather jacket, Pat confirmed it was the one used in the show, I can't remember now whether it was originally his jacket that they used in the show or a wardrobe jacket that they allowed him to keep after filming, Pat would have known.
Anyway I remember thinking there's no way I'm going home without that Jacket, so I started chipping away at Pat, but he was saying leave me alone Pel it's my jacket, I want it, I wear it every day.
Later on that day Pat said he needed to go to Greenwich, sensing an opportunity I offered him a lift
All the way there I was dropping hints left right and centre, but he was having none of it, saying I’m actually out now wearing it so you’ve got even less chance of getting it.
Cursing myself are such a school boy error, I admitted defeat
We finally got to Greenwich and Pat jumped out just outside cafe rouge, went to walk off, stopped, turned around, and chucked his jacket on the passenger seat
If you knew him you'll know that is Pat all over
Every item has a story
RIP Pat
Perry"
