This is the hearse carrying the body of Roger Lloyd-Pack to his funeral today. The Only Fools and Horses actor died in January.
He is gone but not forgotten. On 8 February, what would have been Roger's 70th birthday, his fans created Call Everyone Dave Day, in honour of a long-running gag from Only Fools and Horses.
And so #DaveDay was born.
Norfolk County Council even insisted that people refer to it as "Dave".
We're answering to Dave today, to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and in memory of Norfolk's Roger-Lloyd Pack #DaveDay @DaveDayFeb8th
@NorfolkCC @DaveDayFeb8th alright Dave.
And kept it up all day.
@oddsandmods007 @DaveDayFeb8th *nods* Dave.
@NorfolkCC @DaveDayFeb8th afternoon Dave
@Taxi_Andy @DaveDayFeb8th Back atcha Dave.
This rugby team renamed all their players Dave.
#DaveDay Redingensians RFC named all first team players Dave on Saturday and The Rugby Paper printed scorers names...
Football teams were improved markedly too. Definitely worth putting a tenner on Dave to score first.
Not everyone got the joke.
Local pubs were getting in on the action.
We're supporting #PancreaticCancerUK on #DaveDay with @DaveDayFeb8th - 50p/pint of 'DAVE BAR' sold on day donated!
Age is no barrier to getting involved.
You can play the "What's your Only Fools and Horses Name?" game.
T-shirts are available.
But there is a serious point to all this: the people behind the dat are raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK and have raised almost £5,000 so far. Well done Daves.
We're pleased to announce that our t-shirt sales raised 򣜀 for @PancreaticCanUK - the total raised is now ਴,886.86 http://t.co/faIc6IG3xP
Farewell Roger and here's to a successful Call Everyone Dave Day next year.
