Puddleduck07 Â Â 10 #1 Posted February 19, 2014 Posting this a friend of the family - I was hoping any Armed Forces Personnel current or ex who would like to attend a veterans funeral which is taking place on Wednesday 26 February at 10:30. at Hutclifffe Wood Crematorium, Sheffield. Â Joe was a 92 year old Burma Star medal holder. Â He has family and friends but it would be fantastic to get some uniform to attend it would mean alot to the family. Â please call 07450453702 if you need more details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

fairyworld14 Â Â 10 #8 Posted February 20, 2014 Have you tried the british legion. Yes definitely contact the British Legion . When my beloved Dad died , Mum contacted them & they came to his funeral , he had the flag draped over his coffin . They then sang aswell . It was lovely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
