He was military, so huge turnout form his old comrades, and standards and a bugler.<br /><br />His Eulogies were well given and the service moved those who attended. Our Vicar used the prayer that he used at another funeral several years ago, which is also a beautiful hymn:<br /><br />God be in my head, and in my understanding;<br />God be in mine eyes, and in my looking;<br />God be in my mouth, and in my speaking;<br />God be in my heart, and in my thinking;<br />God be at mine end, and at my departing.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
