Viral road rage legend Ronnie Pickering gets honoured with 'blue plaque' in Hull
RONNIE PICKERING famously went viral for a hilarious argument with a moped rider in which he shouted: “Do you know who I am?!”
Well now he is braced to become even more celebrated on the streets of Hull after a special blue plaque was unveiled in his honour.Pickering became an internet sensationThe footage, which has been watched over 8.7million times on Youtube, shows Pickering growing increasingly irate with the moped rider who continues to block his path.
He later winds down the window of his humble Citroen Picasso and rages: “Do you know who I am? I’m Ronnie Pickering!”Now the unforgettable incident will go down in the history books after a ‘Alternative Heritage’ blue plaque was erected in the same location where the incident took place.
The idea came from local-based company Drunk Animal Creative Studio who create plaques to remember “living legends and stories that make our city special”.He said: “They should have done it in gold or platinum,“They should be painting it gold as a one-off because I was the most famous guy in the country.”
Official blue plaques are controlled by English Heritage and celebrate the links between notable figures of the past and the buildings that they lived in.
