Well, I see I last posted on this thread in November 2010. I wasn't to know then that my Dad - then aged 93 - would be admitted to hospital just a couple of weeks after that, and subsequently passed away on Christmas Day 2010. As he had been in the Royal Navy during WW2 and then in the RNVR for many years after that, I felt it was a very appropriate song to have at his funeral. We used the CMR version, and it was absolutely haunting. It took another 2-3 years before I could sing it again myself without breaking up, and then the Spooky Men did their beautiful version....... more tears!
