More Only Fools and Horses street art appears on real Nelson Mandela House

Artwork of Rodney Trotter has joined an homage to Del Boy on the side of a building - in the shadow of Nelson Mandela House.

The art appeared on a wall outside Whitemead House, in Ashton Gate, today (Monday, August 24) - the real-life building used as a backrop for the brothers' flat in the BBC's 'Only Fools and Horses'.

It shows Rodney standing in his typically modest pose, hands in pocket, on the lookout for police. His partner in crime has already been depicted in a separate work, flogging face masks from a suitcase.

The image of Del Boy first popped up last month, created by local artist DIFF as masks became compulsory in shops.

Posting on Instagram, diff_artist said: "Today’s mission was to paint good old Rodney Trotter, after a few good weeks for Del Boy selling his dodgy face masks, with a few scraps from the boys and girls in blue, he decided that Rodney needed to be look out."

Only Fools and Horses was based in Peckham, London, but producers used several locations in Bristol to film scenes - including the famous 'Batman and Robin' chase.
