Although only family and close friends will be allowed into the service, I expect there to be live streaming of the funeral - details still tbc - for those who would want to be part of this, and Ray (tc4332) will be there in person as a close family friend, and will also represent us at this service.

Aside from that, Lyn has confirmed that she would like any of Mark's A8 club friends who can make it in person to be present outside the crematorium, with their '8s, as that's what she feels he would have wanted. Jim (The Laird) and I will be there, along with Ray, so if anyone else feels able to make it to Bolton next Thursday at 3pm, then please let me know & I'll provide more details of how this aspect of the day will work.

More details will follow on the streaming of this when available.

Why do we need to be there at mid-day? The funeral (according to Ray) is at 3pm. I’m happy to be there for whatever time required, but I’m a bit confused (not that that’s difficult to achieve! ).

Good spot Jim, my error, now corrected.
