Panic off, I've just been talking to Ella on the phone, they're all fine, basically no change in John's condition, so that's good news.

Re: John Newman - ex-49 Bty

Farewell to a Comrade-in-Arms, good friend and much loved family man.



Re: John Newman - ex-49 Bty

well done jim, when I was asking about placing the wreath, I was told that in Perth, they dont carry the coffin in whilst the friends and family are already in the room. No doubt thats why you couldnt video that part of the service. Still John would have been proud. R.I.P John.

Re: John Newman - ex-49 Bty

Well done Jim you did him proud

Re: John Newman - ex-49 Bty
