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:

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

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