Chris Evans has stepped out in public for the first time since a former workmate who accused him of sexual harassment was told the incident would not be investigated.
The BBC star was seen laughing and joking with his wife, Natasha Shishmanian, and two children, Noah and Eli, at the Bonham Vintage Car Run in Hyde Park.
The car fanatic was among those in attendance as thousands of classic motors set off from London to Brighton as part of the annual fundraiser.
It comes a couple of days after the BBC was under fire for its refusal to investigate claims of sexual harassment and bullying by Radio 2 star Evans.

A former colleague of the DJ detailed claims that the ex-Top Gear host used to flash his genitals at the woman after taking his morning bath, ‘sometimes touch himself’ and even grabbed her breasts over a two year period.
Yet the complainant was told by a senior executive that there would be no probe into the incidents as they did not take place while Mr Evans was employed by the BBC.
Mr Evans was questioned by police last year after the woman alleged he exposed his erect penis to her on Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast in the 1990s.
The 51-year-old strongly denied all allegations and said that he was the victim of a witch-hunt.

The Radio 2 host is alleged to have tried to encourage a female colleague to have an affair with him while he was married to Carol M
But a woman who claims to be the victim of Mr Evans’s alleged indecent exposure detailed her account in an email to BBC Director-General Lord Hall.
In her email seen by The Sun, she claims that while Mr Evans was still married to Carol McGiffin, he would expose himself ‘daily’.
She added: ‘Often, he would walk in naked following his morning ritual of taking a bath… and sometimes touch himself.
‘On one occasion, he grabbed my breasts.’
The female complainant added after she rejected Mr Evans, he started a campaign of bullying upon the woman and ‘actively turned other crew members against me’ which led her to become increasingly isolated.
Her email finished: ‘Even though this didn’t happen while Mr Evans was at the BBC, the Weinstein case demonstrates that abuse of any kind must be dealt with regardless of where and when.’
Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said he was ‘appalled’ that the BBC had tried to ‘sweep these very serious allegations under the carpet’.
