Billy has enjoyed a festive season in Florida recently, following his decision to fully retire from a comedy career in pursuit of other creative endeavours.

We recently reported how a statue of Billy Connolly has been kept in a basement after being commissioned a decade ago because it has been deemed 'too big'.
