Mass funeral today

[_pauls]

Out for a walk this lunchtime and I was a little surprised to see around 5-600 people attending a funeral in the cemetery.

Not a lot the general public can do or say in these Lockdown restricting times.

Sorry for their loss but would hope with the current R rate etc that a large gathering doesn't pass on the virus that might result in more sadness.

Today’s funeral I gather was for Bob Wright (Wrights of Bedlington). I used to look forward to a sly cake from them on Front Street West after school.
