have you any idea if Tony's Funeral has happened yet? or if not when it will be, ie date/time.

It would be nice if forum members could pause for a moment and pay their respects in their own way.

I've not a clue about that - Emma said that she was finding everything a bit surreal at present - and that I can fully sympathise with - despite the fact I was running round , a bit like a headless chicken after Raymond died , it just didn't seem as if I was on the same planet as other folk .

I'll ask her - I would imagine that it will be sometime this week - and yes your suggestion that we could all pause and pay our respects would, I think, appeal to both Jo and Emma .

Emma was most insistent that she wanted us all to know that Tony had passed

Farewell Tony.

A man who to the end never took life to seriously, never complained about his lot and enjoyed life.

You will be missed.
