Benny Graham sends me the information that Pat's funeral will be on Tuesday, 17 Jan, 2.20pm, at the Sunderland Crematorium, and afterwards at the Buffs Club, Birtley. I can't be be there in person but certainly will be in spirit. I have known Pat, Pete, and the other Elliott's for nigh on 40 years, and better folks you'd never find, anywhere. To be in their company or at their folk club was always a joy. I will never forget that when a singaround was held in the North East to mark my 70th birthday Pat Elliott, already seriously ill and wheelchair bound, came to see me, wished me the best, and sang and joked with everyone like the gallant trouper that she was. Goodbye dear Pat. Rest Well. Elaine and I will always remember you.
