Richard and Joan were amongst the “audience” for teenager Keaton Henson’s first art exhibition in Richmond a couple of Sundays back.

Fifteen-year-old Keaton is the son of actor Nicky Henson and ex Royal Ballet principal Marguerite Porter.

Other familiar faces at the Richmond Salon in Kew Road were “Casualty” favourite Julia Watson and James Bond’s Miss Moneypenny actress Samantha Bond.

Also present to view Keaton’s 34 paintings were singer Anita Harris, musical actress Elizabeth Bennett and television’s former Dr Finlay actor David Rintoul.

Both Richard and Joan are family friends.

Thirty one of the canvasses were sold during the evening.
