Just back from attending Andy's funeral.
A packed house - what a wonderful send off for a genuine guy.
His family were overwhelmed by the support from friends and colleagues from all three services. His coffin arrived on a motorcycle sidecar hearse with dozens off service 'bikers' escorting him in - a wonderful sight.
Great to see so many off the boys there - some serving, some youngsters, some old and bold and some just old ......an eclectic mix. Nice to put faces to names.
So sad that we had to meet under such circumstance - hopefully today will inspire more to meet up at reunions which would be a lasting legacy in memory of Andy.
RIP Andy
Hope all got home safely.
Regards
Ken
