Oh God, Leaky Eyes Watching The Funeral Of Sir Tom

[Bobbisox1]

One of my favourite hymns to be played
I vow to thee my country ( sob-sob)

[Baldric]

Very emotive, he was a remarkable man.

[Bobbisox1]

He was Baldric, it brings it home seeing an empty Crem, knowing what many families have endured in 2020

[barry1010]

Sir Tom told his family he wanted a 'small, quiet funeral'.

[Bobbisox1]

Apparently the house given permission for it to be beamed across the world

[Bobbisox1]

Typo *they've*

[barry1010]

Yes, I know :(

[tiggerblue10]

RIP Sir Tom

[TonyV]

Is it being televised?

[Bobbisox1]

It was on Sky News for an hour at 12 noon Tony

[TonyV]

OK Bobbi, don't subscribe to SKY, so will see what terrestrial offers later.

[Bobbisox1]

I doubt whether Sky would have been paid so all channels will probably show at least some , you could look at YouTube ?

[TonyV]

Ok will have a browse later

[Ken4155]

Surprised you watched it, Bobbi, given what you said a few weeks back about intruding on a family's grief

[Bobbisox1]

The world watched it Ken + I don't know the family personally :0)

[burlyshirley]

I haven't seen it, I'll put the TV on now and see if it's on anywhere. I love that hymn too Bobbs. Very fitting.

[Bobbisox1]

I'd like it as our national anthem BS, I think our present one is a bit of a dirge tbh

[burlyshirley]

On channel 233 now (freeview).

[burlyshirley]

^ Only brief, but I'm still crying.

Yes, I agree about that hymn Bobbs.

[Paigntonian]

Tony: Sky news is on freeview (233).

[TonyV]

Missed it, can only have been in headlines, not to worry
