It's only going to be a short post today, my apologies, but I'll be also be posting this week's Wednesday Wisdom,
Today marks what would have been the actor Roger Lloyd-Pack's 73rd birthday. His tragic death from cancer at the age of 69 on January 15th, 2014, shocked millions. Whether he was Trigger, Owen, or Hamlet, he was a brilliant, talented and intelligent actor that had true passion and dedication for his work and theatre. I would have done anything to have watched him act in Shakespearean theatre or in any stage show.
I was in year 10 when his death was announced on the news. I can remember being in Art and my teacher said "Hey, did you know Trigger died today?" I wasn't familiar who it was until I'd seen it on the news and watched the Jolly Boys Outing the following Sunday, Then it clicked, That Trigger.
So this post is a tribute to a legend taken so soon and so young. Below is a clip of one of Trigger's best moments where Del Boy explains to Rodney the reason behind his nickname.

R.I.P and Happy Birthday, in Heaven, legend.
Stay tuned for the next post,
Sigourney
