Rail bosses have today condemned a graffiti tribute to Only Fools and Horses star Roger Lloyd-Pack.

A mural honouring the late actor's role as Trigger in the BBC sitcom has been spotted on a train at Tonbridge station this morning.

The character's name has been daubed on the carriage by a fan along with the TV show's logo - adapted to read Rest in Peace.

But Southern Railway condemned the graffiti as criminal damage and said it has drafted in police.

Stella Morris, Southern's head of revenue protection and security said: "Whilst the sentiment may be welcomed by some, this is criminal damage which is being investigated by British Transport Police."
