Well folks. On Thursday 12th of March, I had the honour of taking Howard Manzie on his final journey from George Stewart Funeral Directors, Arbroath out to Parkgrove Crematorium, accompanied by His wife Carol and close family and friends. It was a lovely, heartfelt send off for a man who lived life to the full. I had spoken to Howard a few times at various gatherings etc. He was a lovely chap. Rest in Peace Howard. Ride free. Here’s to a life well lived!

Well today was interesting. I was asked by a local funeral director if I had access to a bus for collecting mourners from Arbroath train station, out to Parkgrove, then back in for the funeral tea at Gayfield stadium in Arbroath. Thanks to my boss, who was able to accommodate, it all went very well. Thanks to Darren and the team at George Stewart, Arbroath. Sorry about the pics. Taken with timer on the phone…
