RIP Trigger
Roger Lloyd Pack, the British actor known to millions as slow-witted roadsweeper Trigger in BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, has died aged 69.
Well-known for his rubbery face and lugubrious delivery, he also appeared as Owen Newitt in The Vicar of Dibley.
Born in Islington, north London in 1944, he was the son of Hammer horror actor Charles Lloyd Pack and the father of actress Emily Lloyd.
His agent confirmed he died of pancreatic cancer on Wednesday night.
Sir David Jason spoke of his sadness at the news, calling his co-star "a very quiet, kind and unassuming actor who was a pleasure to work with".
