The coffin was carried on horse and cart provided by Mr Alec Biddington of Pitching Green, and lead by a parade from the local RAOB Lodge,of which he was a member. His Italian Black Marble Tombstone can be found behind the church".If you wish to comment on this photo or can supply names of people please click
