An excellent send off for Big Jim, really reflected him as a person. The guy doing it was superb, lots of jokes (He opened with 'looking around the room I can see the pubs of Hersham are now empty'), learnt a lot about the Jim we didnt know away from the race track and even cracked a pint of Stella open for us all to toast his life. Just the right balance I thought, couple prayers, no hymns and three good tunes - although getting us to sing the chorus of 'I hear you Knocking' was a bit surreal, especially with Mr Psycho next to me thinking he was on Opportunity Knocks, think we need to forget the BBQs and Beers next year in F6 and get a karaoke machine instead...
Rest In Peace Jim, even your funeral made us smile!
