The funeral in Hartlepool will take place on Monday 15th Feb at 11am.

Dad will arrive in Manchester on Wednesday and will be rested at the Mason and Martin Funeral Chapel of Rest, until the ceremony on Monday.

Family and friends will be able to visit him and spend time at the Chapel of Rest.

On the Monday, Dad will be brought to my house in the funeral car, we will then go to Crematorium, Brierton Lane Hartlepool for the ceremony.

The Minister will conduct the service, he will Remember Dad and read the verse I have written about Dad.

Songs will be played. We will then bury Dad's ashes at a plot in the Brierton Lane Cemetery.

Afterwards we will go to the Raglan Club, for Drinks and a Light Lunch.

Dad spent a lot of time at this club with his family and friends when he was younger.

An announcement was made in the Hartlepool Mail about Dad to let people know, but the funeral details cannot be published until the Thurs 11th because he has to be in the UK before they will print it. Everybody is welcome.

THERE IS A BOOK OF CONDOLENCE AT THE LORD NELSON for ALL my father's friends to sign and leave a message or alternatively send an email with your message to [email protected] and Mark will write the message in, the book will be sent to me in the UK, thank you,

Your every loving daughter

you will leave this land, with many memories sweet

but upon your return,
