Bianca Jagger Honors Comedian Jimmy Cricket with Dapper Ensemble at Frieze Art Fair

Bianca Jagger paid tribute to the late Northern Irish comedian Jimmy Cricket by adopting his signature style at the Frieze Art Fair in London's Regent's Park on Wednesday.

Jagger, 81, appeared in a quirky suit ensemble complete with a red tie, echoing the beloved entertainer's well-known look. Cricket, whose real name was James Joseph Mulgrew, died in August at the age of 80 after a period of ill health. He was known for his catchphrases "And there's more!" and "Come closer!" and for wearing Wellington boots with the 'L' and 'R' markings on the wrong feet.

The Frieze Art Fair also saw the attendance of actors Andrew Garfield and Russell Tovey.

Cricket, who first gained prominence in the 1970s, had previously announced a break from his tour for health reasons and to undergo treatment. His family confirmed his passing in a statement, describing him as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who brought immense laughter and happiness to many.

Born in Cookstown, County Tyrone, Cricket began his career as a Butlin's Red Coat. He became a household name through television and radio appearances, including his show "And There's More" and a BBC Radio 2 series called "Jimmy's Cricket Team." He also toured with various artists and comedians and was featured in the Comic Relief cover of "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)." In 2015, he received the highest honor from the Roman Catholic Church, awarded by Pope Francis. His family noted his strong faith and belief in eternity in their statement regarding his death.
