Paul Weller made a cameo appearance in the series finale of BBC's Sherlock last night. You probably missed this one, so check out footage and stills from the scene below.
In the midst of trying to work out just what on Earth was happening in the action-packed finale, most fans will have missed the Modfather in the guise of a dead Viking - though some keen-eyed viewers worked it out.
In the scene, The Jam frontman is seen lying on the floor at 221B Baker Street, being attended to by Watson in the final sequence of the episode. Weller's name also popped-up at the end, with him being credited simply as 'The Viking'.

The cameo came to be because of Weller's close friendship with actor Martin Freeman, who plays Dr. John Watson in the hit BBC One series. Freeman appeared in Weller's video for the 2015 single 'Pick It Up'.
Elsewhere, Weller also produced The Stone Foundation's new album Street Rituals, and features on their track 'Your Balloon Is Rising'.
Paul Weller released the Saturns Pattern album in 2015, and is set to embark on a UK tour, which kicks-off in March. Check here for ticket details
