Going on outside my office right now

The biggest funeral I have ever seen. I can count 7 black cars with huge flower arrangements on top, but there may be more round the corner. Two hearses, because the flowers wouldn’t fit in just one. Dozens – possibly hundreds – of people. A speaker set up outside to broadcast to the inevitable overspill. I have no idea who the man they’re there for is (I intially wondered if they were re-burying Diana), but he’s “Daddy”, “Uncle” and “Pal”. A woman with a double pushchair went in before everyone else. Details tell a bit of the story…
