Lofty's Funeral

Post by $huttgun » Wed Jan 19, 2011 11:04 am

As I am sure most of you have seen, details have been released by the family.

It will be a civic ceremony, so let's hope lots of us can get out to pay our respects.

I'll be taking a trip down. Probably won't get near the church due to numbers but they're broadcasting the service over tannoys.

I'd like to go, but I'd feel a bit... Well.. Intrusive.

Prefer to remember him in my own way.

As it's a Civic ceremony I would have thought as many as possible would be welcomed down there to line the route.

Wish I could be there.

Nice of them to makes it civic, although you can imagine the great man himself saying "Give over, you daft buggers".

Indeed.

Well I won't make it over, nor will I catch any of it on local news I imagine, hope he gets a fantastic send off.

I'm going to try to go. If I'm not too hungover from celebrating/drowning sorrows over driving test. Worrying thought. Hope it's an upbeat jobby, as I'm sure it will be.
