Brilliant to be at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon and see our sponsored player, Azor Matusiwa named Man of the Match.

Love watching this guy in midfield.

Today's game against Sheffield Wednesday FC wasn't as straightforward as many thought it would be.

However, we won. This was the last home game of 2025.

From a personal perspective, it's incredible to see the company name on the scoreboard at the end of the game when the MOTM details were announced. 💙🤍

Truly honoured and privileged to have been entrusted with the funeral service of a young serving police officer of Suffolk Constabulary who passed away unexpectedly.

Hundreds of mourners attended to pay their respects. This was an exceptionally emotional service for all those in attendance.

We had full police honours, accompanied by police motorbike outriders.

Our deepest condolences go to the family, friends and colleagues of this young gentleman.

Our thoughts are with you all. ❤️

The act of a funeral director walking in front of the hearse is known as "paging". This is a traditional act that is common place amongst many funeral directors and is a mark of respect to the deceased that is being conveyed.

This morning we set off from our funeral home as we have hundreds and hundreds of times over the past ten years.

It is with huge disappointment and a relative amount of anger and frustration that we not only were overtaken once, but in fact three times!

That's three times people were driving a car along Walton High Street, saw a moving hearse, with a coffin clearly visible to everyone and decided to speed up and overtake as I was walking in front of the hearse.

If you were the driver of one of those cars, you need to know that to act in such a manner is obviously not only dangerous, but disrespectful too.

It's no more than 45/50 seconds at most that the paging will be happening as we set off.

Just think when you see a hearse, just slow down for a moment and be thankful it's not one of your loved ones being taken on their final journey and if it was, how would you feel if some idiot decided to overtake and act in a disrespectful manner.

The club is saddened to learn of the passing of former goalkeeper David Best at the age of 82.

David made 199 appearances for Town and was a key part of Sir Bobby Robson’s first European campaign with the Blues.

There will be a minute's applause ahead of tomorrow's game.
