I don't suppose that anybody likes funerals particularly but we said goobye to Paul yesterday and I'm certain it was every bit the send off he would have hoped for.
The pallbearers brought him in to "A Kind of Magic" setting the tone for a Queen themed celebration of his life. It was a tasteful ceremony, non-religious at Paul's request, full of memory invoking comment interspersed with "Somebody to Love", "Who Wants to Live Forever" and finally we said our farewells as they played "The Show Must Go On".
The size of the crowd illustrated what a popular guy he was, as did the stunning array of floral tributes in the gardens. Always occasions of mixed emotion, I'd like to think he was with us all in spirit and if that was the case, I'm sure he will have enjoyed his leaving party as much as we all did...
