[News] Lancing has Tupac memorial bench appear overnight

[Blue3]

A PLAQUE celebrating iconic rapper Tupac Shakur has appeared on a park bench.

The memorial to the LA hip-hop artist has appeared on the bench in Monk’s Rec, Lancing.

Dedicated superfans Neil Whitemore and Graham Staines, who previously demanded that the council install the plaque, have denied putting it there themselves.

Lancing Parish Council said the plaque would be removed.

Either way, Neil and Graham say they are “enormously proud”.

Graham said: “I would like to think that 2pac is looking down at us right now from thug heaven.

“It’s brought people together, like the hip-hop community and the people who like benches.

“Though some have said the link is tenuous, Pac’s killer was never found, so he or she could easily have been from Lancing

Burn it.

Love 2-pac - always have, always will

Tupac's killer definitely wasn't from Lancing.

Was he a madman across the water disappearing into an Indian Sunset?

Lots of Mulberry links around then, but maybe confusing fashion and pubs?

I used to live in G-by-S. Is The Bull still going?

The sentence that made me laugh was

“It’s brought people together, like the hip-hop community and the people who like benches"

Genius
