Yup, you're right there, too many bits of my past are disappearing, and at what seems at an increasingly gathering pace........... :( :o

Well the great man was buried today in Reading.

On his coffin was a very large floral tribute in the shape of Thunderbird 2, and outside the church a full size replica of Lady Penelope's pink Rolls Royce.

How fitting! :y :y :y

Bet Gerry was looking down and smiling. 8) 8)

STOP PRESS:  I have just found this on the web:
