Pink hearse debuts at star’s farewell

Only Fools and Horses star Roger Lloyd-Pack received a send-off with style after London-based Green’s Carriage Masters supplied the pink hearse used at the funeral.

Lloyd-Pack, who played Trigger in the BBC sitcom, had requested the vehicle for his funeral before passing with Green’s Carriage Masters able to supply the hearse that housed his wicker casket. The funeral took place at the actor’s church in St Paul’s, Covent Garden.

The company said: “We were honoured to supply the hearse, especially as our roots are based in Peckham, South East London.”

Peckham became famously as the location for the antics of the Only Fools and Horses cast, which comprised both David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst alongside Lloyd-Pack.
