Roger Lloyd Pack Funeral
Only Fools and Horses actor Roger Lloyd-Pack was laid to rest today - with his coffin brought to a packed-out funeral service in a pink hearse.
The man known to millions as his long-running character Trigger was remembered this morning with a service at the Actor's Church in Covent Garden, with mourners including his former co-stars Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
The 69-year-old's family was also joined by John Challis, who played Boycie in the BBC sitcom, Paul Barber who played Denzil, and Patrick Murray who played Mickey Pearce, as well as friends Kathy Burke and Nigel Havers.
Lloyd-Pack passed away last month with his wife and family by his side , after suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Following his death, Sir David Jason lead the tributes to his colleague describing him as a fine actor.
He said: "I was very saddened to hear of Roger's passing. He was a very quiet, kind and unassuming actor who was a pleasure to work with.
"Although he played the simple soul of Trigger in Only Fools And Horses, he was a very intelligent man and a very fine actor capable of many roles. I shall remember him with fondness and for all the good times we had together."
Born into an acting family in Islington , north London, Lloyd-Pack graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and was well-known for his TV roles in sitcoms such as The Vicar of Dibley and The Old Guys.
But it was for his portrayal of dopey road sweeper Trigger that he will be remembered.
He was married twice and leaves one daughter, the actress Emily Lloyd-Pack and three sons Spencer, Hartley and Louis.
