Default Very sad. Sir Patrick Moore.

This Gent.....

A man dies in his nineties after a long, fulfilling and (by all outward
appearances) happy life and that's 'very sad'? The only sadness was that
his fiancee was killed in the war and he was a 'one woman man' and so
never married.

My only concern is that if he is buried at Church Norton, the local cemetery
near the sea, they do it near a path. I expect his grave will become a place
of pilgrimage, at least for a few years, and I don't want my Mum and her
Daffs and Chionodoxa walked over by all and sundry thank you.
