Sir David Jason attended the Cirque du Soleil Corteo Premiere hours after the sad announcement that his Only Fools and Horses co-star Diane Langton had died.

The actor, 84, was supported by his wife, Gill Hinchcliffe, and daughter Sophie at the event at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday evening.

The dresscode for the star-studded event was “harlequin” and for his part, the Delboy Trotter star sported a red and purple patterned jumper, red trousers and matching shoes.

Over his eye-catching ensemble he wore a darker trench coat and kept his head warm from the winter chill with a flap cap.

His outing came after Langton’s agent confirmed that she had passed away aged 77.

Langton played June Snell, a former girlfriend of Sir David’s character in the cult BBC comedy in the 1980s episodes Happy Returns and A Royal Flush.

Langton, also a West End star, played prison boss Matron “Mama” Morton in the smash hit musical Chicago, Nell Dunn’s classic comedy Steaming, the all-women show set in a Turkish baths, as well as Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, Follies, Billy Elliot and Mary Poppins.
