Thanks to Kevin for bring to my attention the unveiling of a memorial seat to Jack Richards in Fakenham. The following text is from edp24.co.uk:
A bench has been erected in Fakenham in honour of haulage entrepreneur Jack Richards, whose yellow lorries are recognisable across the country.
The bench, which features an image of a lorry with a plaque, is next to the traffic lights on Highfield Road opposite the junction with Queens Road.
His son Anthony Richards said it was a fitting tribute to his father, who founded haulage firm Jack Richards and Son.
He said: “It is absolutely wonderful that my father is remembered in this way, he would have been so proud.
“Before the bypass came in our vehicles came past these traffic lights. It is nice that he is remembered in Fakenham, I just wish that he was here to see it.”
