Not sure I can make it down, but is there a giving page to donate money to cancer relief.
We all get Heavier as we get Older because there is a lot more information in our heads

Aye Rockfogey,

Thank you for publishing the funeral details.

Sorry that your opening post is a grim one. Welcome to the TC if you haven't been here before.

I will be unable to attend Boyd's funeral, but will take time to remember him on the 20th and visit my local Cancer Research UK.

Good health, Bill

Count me in. I'll be there, but not sure how yet. Probably public transport. If anyone needs a stopover the night before or after, they are more than welcome at my place in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
Namaste

Just to clarify,

The funeral is at Dale Hill burial site. DE72 3RY the original postcode given was for the estate office for the land where the burial site is located. I have not visited the site myself but if you google Dale Hill DE72 3RY it will take you to a map.
If you need further clarification feel free to call me. If you don't have my number PM me and I will send you my mobile number.

I would like to come simply to pay respects to another Thumper Club member sadly lost to us.

I won't be able to stay afterwards as I have sole charge of Bella the Blunder Dog that day and can't leave her too long.
