Farewell to Willie

by revruth @ 2007-07-26 - 18:11:22

Lovely funeral this morning, although I do say so myself, for Willie. Willie was 97 and a Portie worthy and worked for British Rail nearly all of his working life. He was a member of the BR Touring Club and they travelled all over the UK and Europe competely free. How great is that? I hope it's still the same today for Railway employees.

After the service we processed outside, round the path to his grave under the avenue of trees. Then the family, a few midges and I bade our farewell to a quiet man. Perfect!

Is it irreverent to describe an ex BR worker as "The late Willie" ?
