Good knight to Del Boy and Marriage !

Actor David Jason, famous for playing characters such as Del Boy, enjoyed a double celebration, he got married to Gill Hinchcliffe yesterday and was knighted by the Queen today.

HIS role as the brash wheeler-dealer Del Boy Trotter in Only Fools and Horses ensured him a special place in the nation’s hearts, and now his talents have been recognised by being knighted by the Queen.

David Jason, who has expressed a desire not to be remembered solely for his Del Boy role, said he had also arranged a special secret marriage yesterday to his long time partner Gill.

The 65 year-old BBC Only Fools and Horses actor arrived at Buckingham Palace this morning to receive his honour with new wife Gill. Gill Hinchcliffe has been his long time partner and at 45 became not just Mrs White, but Lady White too.

When interviewed, David Jason fell into his Del boy roll while being interviewed.

The smiling couple, accompanied by their four year old daughter Sophie May, then ignored further questions as they dashed off for a series of television interviews.

Sir David met Hinchcliffe on the set of “A Bit Of A Do” in 1989. They remained friends and their relationship did not start until David’s previous partner of 18 years, Myfanwy Talog, died tragically of cancer in 1995.

Gill gave birth to the couple’s first child, Sophie Mae, in 2001 at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury.
