Seems to be a lot of dust in the air today. Blue Skies Sir.

It appears the funeral attended by 8 family members is going to be a bit different and well deserved.

Given the numbers of additional people at this funeral - army personnel, all the reporters & camera crews - is it a little ridiculous that only 8 family mourners were permitted?

30 people are permitted for funerals at the moment (I know - I've been to two recently). There will be a more public memorial service when his ashes will be interned with his parents in Keighley, Yorkshire once the lockdown rules permit. His family wished this to be close family only - hence only 8 people there.

"all the reporters & camera crews " not "people" in the generally accepted use of the word

Thanks, Wensleydale, I’d hadn’t noticed this change.
