Now this did impress me

This kind act has helped restore some of my faith in humanity :sunny:

RIP Marine McConnell
~SALUTE~


More than 200 people attended the funeral of a former serviceman following a Facebook appeal, amid fears he would be buried without mourners.

I was just about to post this.

See, facebook's not all bad. I'm glad it worked, and he had a large turnout, including RBL standard bearers and RM buglers. :yeah:

[Jimbuna]

Yes, he did alright in the end.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Yeah, a good turnout, but only aged 70 and in a home. :o

[Jimbuna]

Probably due to a medical condition/s and no family for the caring role.

[Oberon]

Good man, wish I had been closer geographically, I certainly would have gone if I had known.
Per Mare, Per Terram good sir, RIP.

[Jimbuna]

A few social visits would have possibly extended his time on the planet and if not would surely have made his latter times a lot happier :cool:

[Mork_417]

Good to read & see things like this happen.

RIP sir.

Really nice thought R.I.P sir, hmm and face book as slightly gone up in my estimation but only just.
