Gone Riding by David Ritter

Don't cry for me,
I still ride free,
with the wind upon my face,
leather in black,
the sun on my back,
a priceless gift of God's grace .

I'll never grow old, on these streets of gold.
chasing a majestic sunset,
and I still recall, how I love you all,
sweet memories I won't forget.

And when your road ends,
we'll meet again, inside the Pearly Gates.
and we'll laugh awhile and go ride for miles,
but for now,
Heaven can wait.

When you do get here,
don't shed one tear,
and think that I'm in hiding.
Just search Heaven's shore, where engines roar,
and you'll find that I've gone riding

Every Goodbye is Unique

When it comes to saying farewell, there is no “one size fits all.” Families today have many meaningful options when planning a funeral or memorial:

✨ Traditional Funeral Services – A time-honored way to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived.

✨ Cremation Services – Can be combined with a ceremony or kept simple, offering flexibility for families.

✨ Celebrations of Life – A more personal and uplifting tribute, often centered around sharing memories, stories, and favorite things.

✨ Green & Eco-Friendly Funerals – An environmentally conscious choice, focusing on simplicity and sustainability.

No matter what feels right for you and your loved ones, our role is to provide guidance, compassion, and support every step of the way.

Because every life deserves to be honored in a way that feels personal.

Remember by Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:

Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Our deepest thoughts are with Bailey's family and friends.

It is with the deepest regret and the heaviest of hearts we have to confirm that the 19 year old who was killed in the hit and run was Bailey. The most loveable, caring, trustworthy, happy, smiley, beautiful young man we have ever had the honour of working with. A true gentlemen and friend.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time and I would ask everyone to bare with us a little bit as there’s is a rather large hole to fill both personally and professionally for each and every one of our team.

Fly high our Bailey. We love you Matey x

Dan, Jacko and Team Royal Oak

Please do come forward if you can help. Our thoughts are with all those affected.

Some very sad news to share following the collision near Pateley Bridge this morning ⬇️

We’re very sad to share that a 19-year-old local man has died following a collision on the B6265 at Lupton Bank, between Glasshouses and Pateley Bridge, in the early hours of this morning.

The incident happened sometime between 1.44am and 3.10am.

The man, who we believe was walking from Pateley Bridge towards Glasshouses, was sadly found deceased at the scene. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

We are now appealing for anyone who was driving in the area at the time to come forward and support our investigation.

If you have any dash-cam footage from the area or time frame, or if you live or work nearby and have CCTV or doorbell camera footage showing any vehicles passing through between 1.44am and 3.10am, please get in touch.

Please email our Major Collision Investigation team at mcit@northyorkshire.police.uk or call North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference number 12250133851 if you have any information.

The road was closed to allow emergency services to respond at the scene, but it has now reopened.

Thanks folks.

For All the Fathers — Then and Now

To the fathers who came before,
With calloused hands and hearts so sure,
Who lit the path with quiet grace,
And left their mark on time and place.

To those whose laughter filled our youth,
Who taught us strength, and love, and truth.
Though some now rest, their spirits stay,
In every word we dare to say.

To fathers walking with us still,
With patient heart and steady will,
Who rise to meet each passing day,
And lead with love in every way.

To new dads learning as they go,
Who hold their child and softly grow.
Your courage shines, your efforts bloom,
In every bedtime story’s tune.

For every hug, for every cheer,
For all you’ve done year after year—
We honor you, both gone and near,
With grateful hearts and joyful tears.

Happy Father’s Day.
