Fans charged £255 to have a photo with Sir David Jason in Del Boy’s old flat (and have to fork out an extra £120 to get his autograph!) at Only Fools And Horses event in London
Only Fools And Horses fans forked out close to £400 over the weekend for a chance to pose for a photo with sitcom star Sir David Jason.
The 80-year-old actor was in attendance at the David Jason & Friends event in London over the weekend, which offered fans the opportunity to visit the reconstructed set from the show.
Only Fools And Horses buffs were welcomed into Del Boy’s flat – but coughed up £375 to have a photo with the star of the erstwhile series.
Pricey! Only Fools And Horses fans forked out close to £400 over the weekend for a chance to pose for a photo with sitcom star Sir David Jason
The event offered a cheaper option as well – £55 for a snap in the flat without Sir David, or £255, to have a photo with Sir David but not his autograph.
Those wanting an autograph as well shelled out another £120 for the pleasure.
Despite the hiked up prices, the event drew in the punters, selling out almost immediately when it was first advertised last year, even crashing the website.
A Q&A also took place at the event – marking the first time Sir David has attended an Only Fools And Horses convention.
