Just looked out the window of our office and saw the horsedrawn hearse passing on the main road , on it's way to the cemetry ; escorted by 6 motor cycle police .

Earlier this week an employee where i worked had his funeral .
The hearse was routed to pass outside of our office .
Flags on our building were flown at half mast , and colleagues stood outside as a mark of respect as the hearse passed .
How very sad - such is the frailty of mankind .
I dont mind saying that i felt a bit emotional on both occasions .
