Rolf Harris is due to be sentenced for a string of sex attacks against underage girls.
He arrived at Southwark Crown Court accompanied by his daughter Bindi and entered the building without speaking to reporters.
In the dock, he had a small, multi-coloured suitcase on a chair behind him.
His wife, Alwen, was not in court as she was apparently unwell.
Victim impact statements were read out and there were also remarks from prosecution and defence teams.
Harris will be sentenced after 12pm, said judge Mr Justice Sweeney.
Prosecutors have said he will not stand trial over claims he downloaded sexual images of children.
The 84-year-old allegedly had 33 such photographs among a larger collection of thousands of adult pornographic images.
Prosecutors claimed he had looked at a site called "teeny tiny girlfriends" and accessed a picture of a girl who was "extremely young in appearance".
Harris also allegedly clicked on other words including "youngest teen porn", "my little nieces" and "young teen girls".
Earlier in the day, Harris had left his riverside home in Bray, Berkshire, by boat as he made his way to the court in central London.
