Derek Allen-a Great Send Off For A Great Guy

[Rob Wigley]

JUST A QUICK LINE TO SAY WHAT A MARVELLOUS TURN OUT AT DEREK ALLEN'S FUNERAL ON FRIDAY. IT SHOW'S WHAT RESPECT THE GUY WAS HELD IN THROUGHOUT THE SCENE WITH PEOPLE THERE FROM ALL OVER THE UK, I'D GUESS AT AROUND 400 TURNED UP AT THE CREMATORIUM TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS A VERY EMOTIONAL AFFAIR AS ALL THESE THINGS ARE. A QUICK THANK YOU TO CHRIS KING WHO HAS HELPED WITH A LOT OF THE ORGANISING AND TO THE OTHERS INVOLVED AT THE JAGUAR AFTERWARDS, EVERYONE HAD A TALE TO TELL ABOUT DEREK. ITS SAD WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN BUT THE SCENE PAID TRIBUTE TO A TRULY UNIQUE, FRIENDLY GUY.

THERE IS THE DO IN DEREKS MEMORY TONIGHT (SUNDAY) AT ILKESTON REGENCY DETAILS ARE POSTED ON THE SITE.
