Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst were among the mourners at Roger Lloyd-Pack's funeral today (13.02.14).
The 'Only Fools and Horses' stars paid tribute to their late co-star - best known for playing Trigger in the hit sitcom - who died last month following a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Many of Roger's friends and family joined his actress daughter Emily Lloyd at the funeral, which took place at St Paul's Church in Covent Garden, London.
David and Nicholas - who played Del Boy and Rodney in the classic show - were joined by fellow 'Only Fools and Horses' stars John Challis, who played Boycie, Sue Holderness, who played Marlene Boyce, and Paul Barber, best known for playing Denzil.
Roger's pals Kathy Burke and Nigel Havers were also among the mourners who paid their respects.
The late star's coffin was brought to the north London service in a pink hearse.
David, 74, previously paid tribute to his popular co-star, saying: "I was very saddened to hear of Roger's passing. He was a very quiet, kind and unassuming actor who was a pleasure to work with.
"Although he played the simple soul of Trigger in 'Only Fools and Horses', he was a very intelligent man and a very fine actor capable of many roles. I shall remember him with fondness and for all the good times we had together."

Keith Duffy hopes Perri Kiely is too ill to compete in the 'Splash!' final this weekend.
The Boyzone singer has joked that the Diversity dancer, who is feeling under the weather ahead of the diving competition's grand finale on Saturday (15.02.14), is such huge competition he hopes he isn't able to take part.
He quipped on ITV's 'Lorraine' today (13.02.14): "Hopefully he stays kind of ill, he's too good!"
Keith, 39, is joined in the final by Perri, 'The Only Way is Essex' hunk Dan Osborne and athlete Richard Whitehead, and he feels like he is the "old man" among the finalists.
He said: "I didn't realise that I'd be competing with guys like 18 years younger than me, I'm the old man in the panel!"
The Irish star suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during his first dive in the competition, when his swimming trunks came down while he was in the water.
Keith thinks his flesh-baring moment could have been the reason for his success so far, however.
He quipped: "My wife wasn't too pleased, I have to say. But you reckon that's the reason I'm [still] here?"
The 'Splash!' final airs on ITV on Saturday and the show's sponsor, Hula Hoops, is celebrating the final episode by giving away a year's supply of the tasty snack to lucky viewers.
If one of the contestants scores a perfect 10 in the final, fans are encouraged to tweet the hashtag #Perfect10 to @HulaHoopsUK. The first 10 people to do so will win the year's supply of Hula Hoops.

Tim Healy demanded new boobs for his 'Benidorm' character.
The actor portrays transvestite Lesley in the hit ITV comedy and he is enjoying the role even more this year now his "plastic balls" and "rubber" bra have been replaced by a set of fake breasts.
He said: "These boobs are much better than last year where I had to wear plastic balls.
"This one is a proper bra so it's a bit more comfortable. The other ones were rubber and sweaty and horrible."
The 62-year-old actor also admitted some other aspects of his costume are not very comfortable.
He told The Sun newspaper: "The wigs get hot when I'm filming on my rollerblades around the pool.
"I hate these nails because I like playing my guitar. They're too long and they catch the strings."
However, despite his discomfort, Tim adores the show and has no plans to leave.
He said: "I will come back as long as they want me. I love it.
"It's a great job and I love 'Benidorm', you can be whoever you want to be.
"You get a complete mixture of people, older people on scooters, young people partying... it's good fun.
"I hope it lasts for ever."
The final episode in the current series of 'Benidorm' airs tonight (13.02.14) on ITV at 9pm.

Charlotte Crosby has bruised her bum.
The 'Geordie Shore' star - who is prone to unfortunate accidents including wetting herself during booze-filled benders - has suffered a nasty mishap while travelling in India, sustaining a huge purple bruise on each buttock.
Charlotte shared a photo montage of her painful-looking injuries - which also include a gash on her elbow, a bandaged wrist and a scrape on her cheek - on Instagram.
She captioned the image: "I may be smiling but BELIEVE me I wasn't at the time! #Ouch #YesThatIsMyBum #Bruising #CantSitDown #SplitMyArmOpen #IndiaWhatHaveYouDoneToMe LOL."
This comes after she wrote on Twitter last Sunday (09.02.14): "Last day in India! And I have a bandaged up arm a massively bruised bum which is not good for this flight to Delhi #Ouch".
The party girl has been filming her new TLC TV show, thought to follow a similar format to 'An Idiot Abroad', which sees the ditzy brunette travel the globe to spend time with people from different cultures.
From Geishas to Inuits, Charlotte will immerse herself in their ways of life far away from the Newcastle party scene.
She previously commented: "When they told me about going to my first destination Japan, I screamed 'OMG!!!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE I'M GOING TO CHINA!!!!' The crew just put their head in their hands!"

David Walliams thinks Simon Cowell is trying to steal his comedy thunder on 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The camp comic - who sits on the judging panel with Simon, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden - has accused his fellow judge and the show's creator of trying outdo him with jokes and one-liners of his own.
And David believes Simon's recent personality change stems from his impending fatherhood.
David said: "Simon's got really cocky because he's impregnated a woman. I don't know if you've heard about it -- it's been quite a low-key story.
"He is making jokes the whole time and it's becoming very annoying. He's not funny ... he's funny peculiar, maybe.
"If I make a joke, he has to make one better. If I get on the stage, he has to get on the stage.
"He got up so a child could throw knives at him. But unfortunately, the child missed."
Fellow judge Amanda has also noticed the 54-year-old judge has become funnier this year, but she suspects Simon may have had some hired help.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Simon is being a bit funnier than David this year. I was thinking, 'Has he got a scriptwriter?' You can't normally top David."

Nicole Scherzinger has quit 'The X Factor'.
The former Pussycat Doll, who has been a judge on the ITV talent show for the past two series, has reportedly made the "agonising" decision to leave to focus on her music career.
A friend of the star told The Sun newspaper: "It breaks her heart, but Nicole is sad not to be able to go back to the show this year. She has agonised over this decision for months.
"She put her music career on hold last year but now she has to focus on her music."
The news comes just days after 'X Factor' boss Simon Cowell announced he would return for the next series, replacing Gary Barlow, and would like Cheryl Cole to join the panel once again.
Show bosses were keen to keep Nicole, 35, who recently signed a new recording contract with Sony, but those close to Simon say she will "always be part of the 'X Factor' family."
Nicole is believed to have inked a £3 million recording deal and is due to release a new album in coming months, her first new material in three years.
Simon admitted this week he's been in talks with Girls Aloud singer Cheryl, 30, to come on board after a three-year absence but said it's been difficult to try and persuade her.
Speaking about her possible return, he said: "To be fair to Cheryl, it hasn't been about the money with her. It's about whether she wants to do it and whether she can handle the pressure, so I'm not quite sure yet [if she will come back]."
Simon added: "She had her poker face on."
The 54-year-old music mogul wants to recreate the success of the series in 2010, when One Direction started their journey to becoming the world's biggest boy band.
The show pulled in 19 million viewers and saw Matt Cardle crowned the winner, while just 11.5 million watched as Sam Bailey was named champion last year.
Meanwhile, sources say Simon is also keen to sign Rita Ora as a new judge on the show.

Dan Osborne says he has a big penis.
'The Only way is Essex' star says he is "confident" about the size of his manhood and claims it's so large that he wouldn't consider getting a tattoo down below because there wouldn't be enough ink to finish the artwork.
Speaking in the latest issue of Attitude magazine, Dan laughed: "Probably not [down there], the pain would be unbelievable and, of course, there ain't enough ink to do the job.
"I've had tattoos since I was 18 years old. I might get the odd couple more, but I'll probably leave it for a while."
Dan admits his muscles could be larger, but he insists he doesn't wish to be better endowed as his manhood is already big enough.
He added: "I'm quite happy with my muscles. I'd like 'em a bit bigger but I'm fine with 'em. And I've already got a big d**k!"
While the 23-year-old hunk is happy with his body, he admits he would be reluctant to bare all and won't be participating in a full-frontal photoshoot any time soon.
Dan mused: "I'd be alright with [doing a full-frontal photo shoot] but I don't think my agent would really appreciate me doing it. But am I confident with what I've got down there? Yeah, very confident."

David Walliams thinks Davina McCall is "strong" for competing in a Sport Relief triathlon.
The 42-year-old comic has praised the former 'Big Brother' host for taking part in the gruelling seven-day charity challenge - which sees her cycling, running and swimming from Edinburgh, Scotland, to London - and believes she is doing a great job.
David raised over £1 million for Sport Relief in 2006 by swimming the English Channel and understands the hardship Davina, 46, is going through.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I think it shows that in these challenges you are pushed to the absolute limit. But I know she's quite a strong person both mentally and physically.
"The best way we can get behind her is donating, because that'll be the biggest thing that will make her happiest, to know people are behind her and care."
The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge admits he couldn't tackle a triathlon like 'Got to Dance' host Davina because he is not good at running or cycling.
He added: "The reason I couldn't do a triathlon is because you have to do three different things. I'm only good for swimming, whereas on a bike, I'm too heavy, and going for a run, I'm too heavy. You have to be lean to do the other things."
In support of Davina, BT has declared today (13.02.14) Dial for Davina Day and will donate 1p to Sport Relief for every phone call made from a BT home phone line, BT business line and every call made from a BT payphone.
To participate in Dial for Davina Day, people should simply pick up their BT phone and make a call on Thursday, February 13.
