    That photo of Del with the queen was taken when she wanted to thank him for the 3 Trotters that are still hanging in Buckingham Palace to this day

      I heard he was traveling with the queen on a cart pulled by one of the queens horses when the horses tail lifted and it let out a massive loud and long fart.
      "Oh my lord, I am awfully sorry about that" ... said the queen in her posh voice
      "Das alrite darlin, I thought it was thee horse" Del replied

      Speaking of photo's and OFAH.
      This is a true story as well, but the episode of Del hang gliding was filmed Near Portsmouth opposite Queen Elizabeth country park on butser hill.
      During fillming my cousin was there just randomly and had a camera on him....which at the time was just lucky cause unlike now where we all have cameras on our phones, he was able to get pictures of David and Nicholas on the hill and the van being taken off the flatbed truck.
      Anyway, my cousin had a accident ages ago and was in a wheelchair and he even met David, at the time my cousin had a Ford with a sun roof which at the time the car had only just been released and as they were talking they all got on.
      The line in the episode where del said "I fell on a courting couple and had to pay for their sun roof" was a tweak to the script.

      @@caseyfalconer7347 I used to think that, but the point of these endings was to prove that they never needed the money after all to be happy, so it ended on a more symbolic note.

    These were the worst episodes of Only Fools I preferred when Del was the wheeler deeper cockney diamond geezer from Nelson Mandan’s house selling tat from a suitcase in Shepards Bush and driving his three wheeled van with Roders and Grandad he’d always park on a yellow and put a notice saying midwife on call on the dashboard

    I, find these later episodes difficult to accept. Why look for investments when you have 6.5 million in the bank? The interest 1 million would accrue is more than enough to maintain their new lifestyle. Luckily or unluckily Del and Rodney's significant others stuck around, after the money was gone. Still, it is fiction only. Response to video only.
