Jet's Funeral Service - A Personal Perspective

[Arpeggio]

Thanks Tony. Plus....add Mo Foster (thanks to John Skelton).

Rob

[George Geddes]

Thanks from giving those of us who were not there such a strong impression of the event.

Rob has done a great job 'reporting' on the funeral and we all thank him for that.

Also at the funeral, as a fitting family tribute, Billie Davis, Margaret Harris (ex-wife) and Jet's two sons (Ben and Craig) released a white dove from a cane basket as the mourners watched in the grounds of the crematorium after the service. A sad and symbolic moment.

One other observation. It would have been nice for someone to have got Bruce seated. He's mending well, but it was a long time to be stood up so soon after such a major operation.

I think the French chap was Matilda's dad/manager. He was parked next to me and I knew his face but couldn't remember until now.

Then it was Pierre-Antoine Delpierre, who is also the webmaster of the French Cliff & Shads Fan Club web site.

No mention of Hank?

For starters there was one gentleman from the French Shadows Fan Club. I'm sorry - but I can't recall his name - as our meeting was very brief. If he's reading this (or if anyone else knows his name) then please let me know.

Hi Rob,

I guess it might have been Bernard Broche, the President of the French Cliff & Shads Fan Club.

Thanks for having represented all the fans worlwide, who like myself couldn't be there. I guess that no one could have done it better than you did.

Hi Didier
I am the guy who meet Arpeggio at the end of the service. I was with my friend Claudine Lordan and Mo Foster as Bernard Broche commissioned me for representing the French Official Shadows fan Club "Les Amis de Cliff Richard & The Shadows".
Also, at the end of the Ceremony I Asked to Rob for getting his wonderful words about Jet for publishing a french translation for the Club...

In fact the guy was me not Bernard

Salut Didier
Bernard Broche n'a pas pu se rendre aux obsèques de Jet . Aussi il m'a chargé, puisque j'y allais de représenter le Fan Club Officiel France. J'étais donc en compagnie de Claudine Lordan et de Mo Foster. A la fin de la cérémonie, j'ai abordé Rob pour lui demander le texte de son oraison funèbre qui était formidable en vu d'en faire la traduction pour le fan Club.

Donc le gars, s'était moi et non Bernard

I was thinking the same. I have'nt seen,or heard,any comments at all from Hank regarding the passing of Jet. I wonder why?
Seems strange.

I was hoping that this wouldn't come up. I believe that as Hank is a Jehovah's witness, he does not attend events like this. Perhaps a tribute from Hank after Jet's passing would have prevented speculation about his absence.
