Sir Jimmy Saville is gone!! :-(

It was sir Jimmys funeral today , I was in Leeds so i stopped by and paid my respects, He was taken on a last ride around his beloved city and passed by the infirmary where he had worked as a voluntary porter, Rest in peace Sir Jimmy, Leeds will miss you .

Alan.

When they closed his coffin lid, did it go 'clunk-click'??!!

Now then,now then goodness gracious me and as it happens no it didn`t .

Good to see a touch of humour there.............. he would have appreciated that.

Not so funny is the fact that they buried his coffin at a 45-degree angle, in order that he could 'see the sea' !

He's inside a coffin with no window, which is buried in the ground.................. & he's dead.

He won't be 'seeing' anything much...................

The man was a fighter so maybe he wont even take death lying down .

Perhaps not.

As if to reinforce the points I made, I read today that the coffin is made of steel & is being encased in concrete....................................

I bet they charged him extra for a sea view too , He should ask for a refund, Oh wait he can`t can he ? Hmm this death thing isn`t all it`s cracked up to be is it ? , That settles it, I,m not going .

Well ... on monday it will have been a year.

It's amazing what a difference a year can make.

Isn't it just..............

The story was (finally) covered here in the States on MSNBC with Brian Williams tonight.

The upshot was that the BBC has some questions to answer.
