A pub has raised hundreds of pounds for charity thanks to a tribute to a much-loved comedy character.

The Red Lion Inn, at Latchingdon, hosted Call Me Dave Day – a day dedicated to actor Roger Lloyd-Pack, who played Trigger in Only Fools and Horses.

The actor died from pancreatic cancer in 2014, aged 69.

There was a running joke in the classic comedy which saw Trigger always refer to Rodney as Dave by mistake.

The pub raised more than £500 for Pancreatic Cancer UK, with money still coming in.

The event coincided with pub regular Leah Payne’s 44th birthday celebrations.

A pub spokesman said: “We had a full house in the evening but it was steady all day to be honest.

“It’s hard to put a number on it but it was probably more than 100 in the evening.

“We put a popular band on called Rekovered as well and it was Leah’s birthday, so it all added to a good turn-out and helped raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK.”

He added: “We didn’t let anyone fall through the bar – could you imagine if someone got hurt!”

The Red Lion also served special beers – called Dave, Rodney and Trigger – from Wibblers Brewery.

The pub donated 20p for every pint of real ale sold to the charity.

It plans to host the event again next year.
