I have received several requests for information about the funeral of Derek Jameson, who died a week ago, aged 82.
His widow, Ellen, is happy for all of Jamie's friends to attend the service at Offington Park methodist church in Worthing at midday next Tuesday (25 September).
Before that, a Victorian horse-drawn carriage bearing Derek's casket will leave HD Tribe's funeral parlour in Broadwater Road, Worthing, at 11.15am. The cortege will make its way through the town centre and along the seafront before reaching the church. Cars are welcome to join.
The funeral will be followed by a reception in the town, at the Burlington Hotel on Marine Parade. I think Ellen would appreciate knowing if you are intending to be there (for catering purposes). You can let her know at ellen.jameson12@gmail.com
