I was privileged to be invited to John Miller's memorial on Friday 1st July.
The turnout was simply amazing.
John was a Humanist and there were no religious overtones.
We boarded a train at Tenterden and rode through the countryside and had some sandwiches and tea.
Bodiam was beautiful.
The staff there had prepared the station for the event and it was in pristine condition.
The service was held in a (rather warm) Marquee, and the speakers told the story of John Millers life in chronological order.
He was by any measure, a remarkable man and I feel that we have been very fortunate to be a part of his life, rather than the other way around.
There were no tears, just a strong sense of celebration.
I know that you didn't believe in an afterlife John, but wherever you may be, RIP, and thanks a lot.
