BRIDGWATER youngster Liam Pope had a dream come true when celebrating his sixth birthday in 1998.

Liam, of Stafford Road, was a huge fan of lorries - particularly Eddie Stobart - and was given a trip in an Eddie Stobart vehicle for his birthday.

His dad, Steven, orgaised the trip after noticing the vehicles on Bridgwater streets.

Mum Shirley said: “He really loved it.

“He has been into lorries ever since his grandfather introduced him to the (Eddie Stobart) fan club when he was three.”
