  It was indeed a beautiful service; Barham chapel was full to overflowing - both upstairs and downstairs.
  
  A poem-tribute to Roger was read out by Bernard Sealy, the Commodore at the Yacht Club and a tribute, by Jeffrey Waller.
  
  The service was performed by the Reverend Ken Childs, originally from Sydney, but now Canterbury - he had such down to earth humour and there was great affection for Roger throughout.
  
  What was lovely was that at the end of the service, Pauline turned and smiled and waved to everyone, then went outside.
  
  I couldn't go to the Wake at the Yacht Club, but they have certainly done Roger proud.
  
  
  Sorry Keith, I haven't been able to look in for quite a long time and have only just read your posting about picking you up - I could/would have done so of course and took anyone else who wanted a lift; perhaps you could have sent me an email ? Not to worry.
  
  A wonderful service and Roger would I am sure, have been so pleased - a nice touch was that a Union Flag and hops were draped over his coffin - two great loves - Beer and England.
  
  
  
  
  Roger
