Only Fools and Horses legend Patrick Murray has died at the age of 68.

The actor, who is best known for playing Mickey Pearce, previously battled lung cancer before being given the all-clear.

Patrick played the role of Mickey in 20 episodes of the legendary British sitcom during its 22-year run from 1983 to 2003.
