APPEAL FOR PEOPLE TO ATTEND FUNERAL OF VETERAN WHO HAS NO FAMILY 🚨💔

A heartfelt appeal has been made for members of the public to attend the funeral of a 91-year-old RAF veteran who has no surviving family.

John Thomas Gray, originally from Boldon Colliery, passed away on 3 August. With no relatives left behind, only a few photographs were found among his possessions.

Mr Gray’s funeral will take place at 9am on Wednesday, 3 September, at South Shields Crematorium.

Despite his service in the Royal Air Force, no standard bearer or bugler has been made available for the service. The Royal British Legion has said they are unable to assist without Mr Gray’s regimental number.

Friends and organisers have described the situation as deeply sad and are calling on the community to come together to ensure Mr Gray does not make his final journey alone.

Richard Dalton Funerals and organiser Tracy Curren are appealing for anyone who can act as a standard bearer, particularly from the RAF, or a bugler to get in touch. Ex-service personnel and members of the public are also warmly invited to attend and pay their respects.

The message from organisers is clear: “No veteran should go on his final journey alone.”

📍 Funeral details:

Date: September 3rd (Wed)

Time: 9am

Venue: South Shields Crematorium

TRANSFER WINDOW NOW CLOSED

DONE DEAL
HERE WE GO!

Today I snapped up this photo album when my eBay offer was accepted.

I have attached some of the photos below and I'll be sharing the pages that have names and annotations with my subscribers shortly.

I know who most of the family are and where they were from. Can't wait to research them more and try and find a living relative. There are some unusual surnames in there so it should be straightforward ☺️

There is a link to become a subscriber in the comments. It's only 99p!

Do you have any tips on making documents like this easier to read?

I'm researching some medals on eBay and found this letter in the chaps service record. That's not his name at the bottom so would be interesting to find out how it is connected to him!
