nanoffive   10 #2 Posted May 9, 2018 It was the funeral of the owner of Stanwood Chip shop. Lots of Volvos in the procession- I understand he was a Volvo enthusiast, so lots of the car owners followed on. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #4 Posted May 9, 2018 I saw a guy in a Volvo parked in the road blocking the traffic, I thought it didn't look like RTA, it looked like he was waiting for something. It was gridlock everywhere, it made me very late for something I was going to.  Hmm, mixed feelings on this to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
darylslinn   10 #5 Posted May 9, 2018 It was a huge convoy mostly Volvo's all with indicators flashing passing through Hillsborough behind the cortege. I'm sure people will understand this and allow the man and his family to delay people on his last ever journey. A journey sadly we all have to take. RIP fella !

Cyclone   10 #7 Posted May 9, 2018 Blocking traffic for a funeral procession is hardly normal behaviour is it. We've all had family members die and been to funerals, I doubt that we closed down a town centre to do it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #9 Posted May 9, 2018 Bang out of order that. Was a top bloke, and a genuine lover of cars, something thats frowned upon on this forum any car love. Who gives a flying what you were late for. The selfishness of some people. He ran his own forum instead of being a busy body on this one  I had no idea earlier today and even when I started this thread about any funeral taking place, I've never heard of this guy or been in his chip shop he apparently had for years. I will admit to being annoyed about the gridlock but having found out the cause, fair enough it puts a different complexion on things.

andyk68 Â Â 10 #12 Posted May 10, 2018 Having just been to another funeral we parked our car up and walked to the Anvil for the wake when we saw this magnificent procession come by. Amazing sight. Never knew the guy but was clearly well loved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
