ONLY Fools and Horses legend John Challis has a brilliant reference to the sitcom on his gravestone, his wife has revealed.
The actor, who played slippery car dealer Boycie in the sitcom, died last year at the age of 79.
His wife Carol showed followers the elegant headstone she's had installed at the much-loved actor's grave this week.
It reads: "John Challis - actor - 1942-2021" then, at the bottom, the words: "I am here."
The line comes from a fan-favourite episode of Only Fools and Horses, which was written by late sitcom legend John Sullivan.
It came in a scene where psychic Elsie Partridge holds a séance that includes Del, Rodney and Boycie.
She makes contact with a mysterious gent, saying: "He wishes to speak to someone named Audrey... no, Aubrey."
There's silence as everyone looks baffled - before Boycie, with perfect timing, calls out: "I am here."
He explains that it's his middle name, before Trigger turns to him and says: "You never said your name was Aubrey."
He replies: "Nor would you if your name was Aubrey."
Only Fools and Horses fans were delighted with the choice of quote for John's headstone.
One wrote after Carol tweeted a picture of it on Twitter: "An excellent choice of epitaph.
"Hopefully future generations will understand its significance and find it as amusing and as fitting as we do. Rest In Peace John."
The actor played Boycie in Only Fools and Horses from 1981 to 2003, as well as in the character's own spin-off The Green Green Grass.
His death was announced in September last year, with a statement issued by his family.
It read: "Our dear friend and yours, John Challis, has died peacefully in his sleep, after a long battle with cancer.
"He will always be loved for being Boycie and leaves a great legacy of work that will continue to bring pleasure and smiles for many years to come."
