The older generation still know how to show a little respect, I was in a funeral cortege a few years back when my father died, and I noticed that a few people along the way stopped walking, stood still and bowed their heads. It was nice to see, as it showed that some people have a bit of common decency about them for a stranger

last tuesday was my grandads funeral,there was the hearse,limo and then myself plus behind me all the other relatives and we came to a roundabout where a woman pushed inbetween me and the limo
it wasnt the time or place to give the horn what for or kick off but i was amazed how somebody could do it,ive always halted for the cortege and if i am walking and a hearse is passing i do stop and bow my head

I got stuck behind a bikers funeral cortege on the A303 near Yeovil a few years ago.  There had to be around 100 bikes and they proceeded up the dual carriageway at around 35mph and took up both lanes for about 6 miles or so before peeling off into Yeovil, probably to the crematorium.

I was driving an artic right behind the cortege and I was abit frustrated at being held up and there was a hell of a tail back behind.... I remember though feeling abit ashamed later and thinking what a hell of a send off that biker got.....

We're all in such a hurry these days to get things done and be places, that we all tend to forget simple things like showing abit of respect 

 

We had this one for John 'F*ckAye' the weekend before last.

One thing that sticks in my mind, at my dads funeral a few years ago now, as the hurse passed some road works the contractors stopped work and removed there hard hats and bowed there heads.

In February we had the sad event of my FIL funeral, I drove following the hearse and car with immediate family in it, I was worried about getting lost, was in Sunderland..

I noticed that the official cars put on their lights, so did I and had no problem being let out at the odd junction to keep behind them, I was rather impressed to be honest....
