I can do the Queen, Elvis, Harold Bishop and Roy Castle. The knight's too young for me to recognise him and the pawn looks like he's from the Seventies.
I mentioned this to Tom when I saw this piece was being put together, but I lived within a couple of hundred yeards from that pub for thirty months and must have walked past it many times. Curiously I never remotely felt drawn to view the interior.
I recognise the King (he seems to have taken time off from working at the chip shop round the corner). The Queen is familiar too and the pawn looks like one of those soft porn film stars ... but why is beyond me ...
According to google there are a number of light entertainers with rhe surname Knight but none looks like this young chap ... perhaps there is a horsey connecton, e.g. he's a famous jockey?
Naturally a dark square is in the right hand corner, but who are the pieces? And why?

Gosh. I'd thought Harold Bishop was the Dalai Lama! Well spotted.
I know who the pawn is (and why he is a pawn) but the knight I don't know . . .
Btw, I just realised there's a close-up here.
I hate to be a bore (no, really) but have they set up White as Player 2?

Come on, we surely have to have some readers under thirty...
I reckon his hairdo places him in the 1980s...
I'll have a punt - the knight is Jordan Knight (from boy band New Kids on the Block), and the pawn looks like "pawn" star Ron Jeremy?

Antony! I'm both impressed and appalled!
Hahaha, what can I say - lucky guess! ;-)
