John Challis' widow finds something at his grave and is overcome with emotion.

Carol Challis was overcome with emotion when she visited her late husband John Challis' grave. The festive season had brought a special touch to his resting place, which touched her heart deeply. John, known for his role in the popular show Only Fools and Horses, passed away in 2021 at the age of 79, leaving behind Carol, his beloved wife of 26 years.

As Christmas approached, those who cherished John's memory made a special effort to visit his grave. Upon seeing the heartwarming gesture left at the cemetery in Leintwardine, Herefordshire, Carol couldn't hold back her tears. She took to social media to express her gratitude, writing, "I've just had a little weep. The people at Wigmore Abbey, Steve, Andrea and Victoria went to see John early this morning and left all this Christmas loveliness for him. Never forgotten, Challis."

Along with her heartfelt words, Carol shared a picture of John's grave, beautifully decorated with festive items. His tombstone, inscribed with his profession and dates of birth and death, was adorned with a Christmas wreath, tree, and flowers. These were left by residents of Wigmore Abbey, the place where John and Carol lived before his passing.

John was not only known for his iconic role in Only Fools and Horses but also for his portrayal of Monty Staines in the popular sitcom Benidorm. In September 2021, his family released a statement announcing his passing, saying, "It is with heavy hearts that we bring you such sad news. Our dear friend and yours, John Challis, has died peacefully in his sleep after a long battle with cancer." They also spoke of his lasting impact, saying, "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."

As Christmas approached, Carol couldn't help but think of her loved ones who were no longer with her. She shared, "Especially over Christmas, my thoughts have been with my much-loved and missed mother Libby, father Denis, nephew Simon, and my darling husband. All gone. All those memories." She also posted a photo of John sitting in front of a Christmas tree, writing, "Wish you were here, Challis. 'Night all."
