Jack Lord was a cut above the rest as Steve McGarrett, an Hawaiian cop whose exploits with an elite unit reminded us that not only did the sun shine and the women look gorgeous in that state, but the locals committed crime on a grand scale just like anywhere else, and Stevie and his team were always hot on their heels.

Six years after his death, Hawaii Five-O star Jack Lord is being honoured with a bronze bust at one of his favourite walking spots.
