There's a funeral place with 6/7 spaces outside it usually; I'll just park there before the game - its never open on the weekend so not like I'm in anyone's way.

A billionaire businessman dubbed the 'real-life Del Boy' is said to have left grieving relatives 'distraught' after his car blocked a body from being taken into a funeral home.

The deceased’s body had just been collected from hospital and driven to an undertakers in Plymouth, Devon.

But when the private ambulance arrived a Range Rover belonging to Chris Dawson was discovered parked outside the clearly marked entrance meaning the ambulance couldn’t be reversed in.

Plymouth and District Funeral Services is based at the Sugar Mill Business Park, owned by Mr Dawson, who is a self-made retail tycoon and boss of The Range chain of home and garden stores.

The undertakers have now demanded an immediate apology from Mr Dawson to the family of the deceased.

Funeral director of the family-run business, Cheryl Whatmore, said she was 'extremely upset' by the situation and said the family were 'distraught'.

She said: 'We pride ourselves on dignity and respect for families and their loved ones.

'But due to inconsiderate parking we couldn't carry out our main priority, which is ensuring dignity and respect. I'm so passionate about dignity for the deceased.

'It's not for anybody else to see us bringing in a body - not because it's horrible, but it's part of what we do and part of the funeral etiquette.'

The family, who do not want to be named, left the premises after being comforted by Mrs Whatmore, and she contacted The Range head office to complain.

She asked for Mr Dawson to contact her directly and apologise, but says this hasn't yet happened.

Representatives from The Range arranged for the vehicle to be removed.

A recovery truck with a small crane was sent to the car park, but mechanics had already loosened the brakes and were able to roll it forward.

It was then moved on by the truck.

After the Range Rover had gone, Mrs Whatmore said: 'The deceased is now in proper care, but the whole thing was quite stressful.

Due to inconsiderate parking we couldn't carry out our main priority, which is ensuring dignity and respect


'The family don't blame us as they knew the funeral service would look after their loved one, but I've had no phone call from Chris Dawson which I was assured I was going to get.'

A spokesperson for The Range said: 'As soon as we were made aware of the obstruction we arranged for the vehicle to be moved.

'We apologise for any inconvenience or distress that this caused.'

In 2013 retail magnate Mr Dawson bought the retail park out of administration and intended to rename it 'Dawson Mill'.

Mr Dawson said he did the deal because the Billacombe Road site is the birthplace of his retail empire.

He is a self-confessed 'Del Boy' after being inspired by the popular character from Only Fools and Horses.

He can also be seen around his home city of Plymouth driving a £250,000 Rolls Royce with £35,000 DE11 BOY number plates.

Shocking that. Needless to say I wouldn't be blocking anyone if I parked there it's been open a couple of times over the last year during the match, and each time I've cleared it with them before parking there

He sounds like a tosser.

I park in the Dockers Club on Townsend Lane. Costs a flim, but it's secure and about a 15 minute walk to the ground.

Venton probably knows him Plymouth is his old stomping ground IIRC.

There are a lot of knobheads (don't know the collective noun) in Plymouth, a lot.

I know the place - not far from Rollarena, the premier roller disco hotspot in Plymouth in the 80s. Snide moustaches and ra-ra skirts abounded, I loved it in there. It sported the first Defender arcade machine in Devon I believe.

Still a proper ****hole by the look of it: https://goo.gl/maps/2eW7VzSeBPv.

Roller disco. Remember it well but never really saw the point of going round in aimless circles. Plus I was **** on roller skates.
