Back To The Future star Michael J Fox, who is living with Parkinson's disease, made a surprise appearance at the Baftas to present the best film award.

Fox was diagnosed in the 1990s and rarely makes public appearances. Around 153,000 people live with Parkinson’s in the UK according to charity, Parkinson's UK.
