Toast 16,139 Posted June 17, 2015 Here's someone for us, the notable undertaker OBE Barry Albin-Dyer, is dead at 64: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11678846/Barry-Albin-Dyer-undertaker-obituary.html His firm was responsible for the repatriation and funerals of members of the armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. As well as burying Jade Goody. And the Krays. Did they do Ronnie Biggs? So his dad was an undertaker too - what else, with a name like Dyer. I remember watching the documentary series about the business. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,970 Posted June 20, 2015 Livelong railway steward John Bennett, who set such standards that "he was regularly called to Buckingham Palace to serve at state banquets", has died at 99: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11686501/John-Bennett-railway-steward-obituary.html He also served regularly on the Royal train (!) and had enough time to do some investing on the side which he apparently did with a lot of success. He served in the War and received the Russia's Ushakov medal for bravery, but only after a delay of several decades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
