As I wrote in my previous post, Ian's funeral is on Thursday 30 November. It will be at Westbury on Trim Crematorium. His coffin will be carried into the chapel to the tune called 'Aces High' (also known as The Luftwaffe March). The first hymn will be 'Amazing Grace', then Ms Barbara Dunham will read from the Bible. She has chosen Revelations Chapter 21 Verses 1-7. Ian's nephew Mike is going to speak about Ian and so is David, Mr Eric Martin's son. The last hymn will be 'How Great Thou Art'. Then at the end of the service the music will be The Goons version of 'Old Comrades' (a song popular in the First World War). Ian did not want flowers at his funeral, but instead wanted donations to go to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. See even in death my friend thought about helping others. That is the reason why his death will be mourned by many whose lives he had touched.
The latest information was furnished by Ms Dunham.
