How things were back in the seventy,s- I remember riding in an undertakers procession , after the death of my husbands Granny. The number of men who took of their flat caps in respect of the newly deceased amazed me as we drove through Burnley! Ive never forgotten that and at that time was very moved by it.

Not many flat cap wearers about nowadays...but I'll always pause to show respect if a funeral cortege drives past.

So do I. I always take time to think of the family too. By the time I was 17 I lost my Dad, Mum and Nan. So I know what loss is.
