Heartbreaking last picture shows Only Fools legend | UK News
The last picture ever taken of Only Fools and Horses legend Patrick Murray confirmed the actor flashing a courageous thumbs up to the digicam from his hospice mattress. The snap was taken by a fan whose father shared a ward with the Mickey Pearce actor at Wisdom Hospice, where Patrick was battling lung cancer.
In the snap, a cheery Patrick smiled at the digicam while carrying a black trilby and a T-shirt – and still sporting his iconic moustache. The post was shared by Redbridge councillor Paul Canal, who leads the Conservative Party in the Bridge ward. He explained that Patrick gave him a signed picture and launched him to his spouse and daughter 4 weeks before he died.
He penned: “My father shared a ward at Wisdom Hospice with ‘Mickey Pearce’, AKA Patrick Murray. On my first visit to dad four weeks ago he gave me a signed photo, which I will frame.
“I also met his lovely wife Anong and their beautiful daughter Josie. It was a wonderful family.”
He added: “Condolences and love to all the family and friends. In the picture, ‘Mickey’ is wearing my hat!”
Patrick died at the age of just 68, with the Only Fools and Horses Appreciation Society sharing the news to Facebook. An announcement said: “It is with heartfelt sadness that we report the death of our friend Patrick Murray – Mickey Pearce to so many.
“He was a regular attendee of our conventions and we will miss his humour and the joy he bought to many. Sleep well Pat!”
