Sir Del Boy

David Jason was overjoyed at the news he was awarded a Knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours.

David 65, said he was "Humbled and Moved" by the news.

And he remarked about meeting the Queen "It’ll be great to see the Queen. I can tell her, ‘Well done darlin’, the Trotters love you"

 “What a bloody surprise, I’m delighted and overwhelmed.

“Getting Fools and Horses was quite something, but this is the topper. I never thought this would happen — I haven’t done landed gentry very often.”

 “It’s a great honour, I haven’t quite got over it yet.

“My wife Gill told my four-year-old daughter Sophie Mae she’d have to call me Sir. But she said, ‘I want to call you Daddy’ — so that’s how I’m put in my place.

“I shall treat it with reserve. I don’t think anyone in TV has got this honour before me. Family and friends think it’s hilarious and will be calling me ‘Sir’ right, left and centre!”

Sir David receives his knighthood in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. Her Majesty is known to be a massive fan of Fools And Horses, penned by top writer John Sullivan.
