So many arrived to pay their respects, that police had to close down roads in the area.
Joe revealed on Dave Berry’s Dadpod: “When my dad died, he had so many friends – he was a London taxi driver – that the police had to close the roads ’cause there were so many cars going to the funeral
“They all come up to me, all the cab drivers, and said to me, ‘Your dad was one in a million.’
“So, I live under this shadow of this amazing man that I didn’t really know very well,” he added.
