He cut a charming picture." <BR/><BR/>I don't have to click the linky to know that you're thinking Alf Garnett! I'm only surprised that he didn't knot a handkerchief for his head! LOL! <BR/><BR/>Gosh it sounds like a real trial.. funerals are not fun occasions at the best of time, but sheesh. You only need an Uncle Bill for the misery to be complete. <BR/><BR/>Most unusual one I was at was my step-father's. He had a lot of friends around the world who were too elderly to attend, and my Mum asked if people could take some pictures of the funeral ceremony to send to them. Now, this isn't actually too unusual a request (my brother in law by marriage is a vicar and says they do this all the time, even vids) but partway through the proceedings the vicar at my step-father's funeral, interrupted himself to march down the aisle like an avenging angel and confiscate cameras! We had thought it was all cleared, but apparently not. Wires got crossed somewhere!
