Well there was a good crowd to say farewell to Fred today. Peta Webb sang 'Our Ship is Ready' beautifully for him in the chapel, and we listened to his voice again afterwards on recordings which was very moving indeed. Ken Hall sang the 'Bacon Butty' for us, and then we all joined in with the Liverpool Socialist Singers in some rousing anthems. We sang some more songs for Fred and shared a few stories. It was lovely to meet Jean and Gill, and all Fred's family, and I think that he got the send-off he would have loved.
