Termietermite cremation

[Mr Termite]

Deb will be cremated at Le Mans (where else?!) on Monday 10th September at 1100. I am NOT expecting droves of people to turn up. Some of you will have recognised that I am a more private person than was Deb, and I do not relish having to meet and greet many mourners. Reading pages of your generous tributes has had me on the ropes, believe me! An online event at 1000 BST sounds like a lovely way to celebrate her passing - raising a pint at a more suitable time also sounds appropriate.

We are still negotiating the final resting place of the ashes, which is subject to strict rules in France. The funeral director is being as helpful as he can within the law.

Ian,
Thank-you for the update, I think the on-line gathering would be a nice idea

[LangTall]

I'm in. Let's beat that 'most people online' in the footnote...

[Werner]

Ian,

I understand your wish for a very private ceremony - I'll be there in spirit. And I hope you find a resting place for the ashes which suits you - authorities here in Germany can be a pain in the ass too on this topic.

Take care of yourself and I'll join the online meeting, good idea. And I'll raise my glass on Deb at that time - I've had early morning beers in the past for much less important reasons.

Best

Werner

[Lord Steve]

I'll be in Manchester but will pull over at 10am GMT for a minute's silence and thought. Chin up Ian, we'll all be thinking about you both. Steve
