The date has been set for John's funeral as the 23rd of January at Kingsdown Crematorium, nr. Swindon.
He will leave his mansion at 11:30 and the family like the idea of a motorcycle procession to accompany him on his final journey. All are welcome so if you would like to participate it would be best to arrive approximately 11:00-11:15 to join this, although all attendees, motorcycle or cager are welcome to accompany him or wait for him at the Crematorium.
The wake will be held back at the family home afterwards, to which again everyone is welcome.
Please will everyone confirm below if they are coming, in what capacity and if you will be bringing a partner, ASAP to give an idea of numbers.
Any questions or for directions please call the family using his phone on 07973801008, ask here or I will help as best I can.
I'll put a map up nearer the time.

I went to see driller this evening and the family have asked me to pass on this message.
John is now at home again but unfortunately not to recover. He is deteriorating quite rapidly so anyone who wishes to come see him should not delay, this weekend would be wise and you are very welcome. He will not be able to reply but he can hear you and sometimes raise an eyebrow. However the family also understand that some may wish to remember him for the fit man that he is (I personally found it a bit of a shock).
The best way to arrange to go and see him is by calling or texting his mobile number 07973 801008, his wife is checking this regularly.
His wife has asked the number to be posted up to help people get in touch quickly so please do not remove.
