Dad's funeral all sorted. Friday 5th January 2024, Howe Bridge Crematorium at 10am. Glad it's after Christmas which gives plenty down time and time to enjoy the festivities the best we can.

Absolutely devastated and heartbroken about the news regarding John Hunt's wife and two daughters, One of the nicest men in racing and a devout family man suddenly having his entire world taken away from him by some evil scumbag. My thoughts are with him at this sad time.
