Bonnie - strange that. The same thought had occurred to me, as I am sure that there are quite a few down South and others who had organised their diary for the first date who won't be able to make it for the revised venue and time.

Well, let's all keep in touch. I'm not likely to be within hailing distance of London before next summer, or maaaaaaaaaaaaybe Easter break, dunno yet. (Spring mid-term is reserved for Packie Manus' 97th birthday.) Will have to see how Chris in Iceland is fixed first, and then contact everybody beforehand if & when (and Chris could get onto David Easby). But I think we should do it. We can start a new thread nearer the time.

Glass will be raised Bonnie. Sad that Chris can't make it but hopefully we'll all be somewhere at the same time. Even Ireland, been twice this year but not to your parts.

Still good memories of our meet up with Diane in Islington.

Kevin, Dave and Emma B went along today.

Quiet dignified ceremony with a few family paying their respects.

Kevin and I both spoke about the Diane we knew/didn't know and that it spoke wonders for her on-line persona that people were prepared to travel so far to say goodbye.

We met in a pub and as the three of us crossed the Market Square to a taxi rank a stranger stopped us and said "Are you looking for a real ale pub?'

I think Diane would have liked that.

I'm glad you were able to make it. I'm sure Diane was in most of our thoughts yesterday.

Echoing what Dave said. Glad I was able to be there and meet some of Diane's family.

Same here as well. Sad occasion but good to meet people. Hope all the homebound journeys went well.

Cheers

Glad to hear it all went well. "Quiet and dignified" is a nice way to wind up after all the oddness of the last several weeks.
As promised, I did pay my respects quietly at home.
RIP
