Story
Hi Everyone,
Thank you all so much for your wonderful generosity in raising the amount that you did. Very fortunately and just in time,details of David's bank account were discovered and the cost of his funeral has now been covered by his bank. Please accept a really heartfelt thank you from all his friends and the organisations which he was a member of. A special note of thanks is due to The Royal Marine charity 'Help Our Wounded' for their magnificent contribution of £5000, which has now been returned to them for use to support another deserving veteran or family in the future.
There are many veterans who are worthy of donations if you would like to donate still please contact veteransfunerals.co.uk who would appreciate the support.
David's funeral will be held on 16th December in Ashford, Kent. Time and details tbc. To keep up to date with the arrangements there is a group on Facebook which will have all the information updated as we know it.
All donations to the just giving crowdfunding page will be refunded.
Thank you again for your support.

I lost family members in two world wars. To erect and maintain a grave for those who gave their lives in the service of their country is the very least we can do to show our deep gratitude.RIP sir
