London Daily Photo: Henry Winkler, OBE

LDP 2013.11.29 - Henry Winkler, OBEHenry Winkler meets a young fan just after turning on the festive lights in the courtyard of the Marriott County Hall.

Henry Winkler was in town last night to switch on the Christmas lights at the London Marriott Hotel County Hall.
Best known for playing Arthur Fonzarelli on the long run American television series Happy Days, the 68 year old actor is in the UK at the moment promoting and supporting his My Way! campaign to encourage children with learning difficulties. Winkler was made an honorary Officer of the British Empire in September 2011 “for services to children with special educational needs and dyslexia in the UK”.

The Fonz was one of my first heroes, and it was a pleasure to meet (however briefly) the man who entertained my family and me for a decade as the singular embodiment of cool.
