Actor James Earl Jones receives Oscar in London
Actor James Earl Jones has received an honorary Oscar on the London stage, to the surprise of his matinee audience.

Jones, currently starring opposite Vanessa Redgrave in Driving Miss Daisy - said he was "plain gobsmacked" as he accepted the award.

The 80-year-old was presented with his Oscar on stage by Sir Ben Kingsley.

Jones, whose film credits include Patriot Games and The Hunt for Red October, remains best known as the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars.
