The funeral

The size of St Nicholas Church means that all of the seats are to be restricted to invited guests. A screen will be erected in the church grounds to allow people to watch the service and take part from outside the church. The organisers ask that you are in place by 11.30am. They say they would welcome people lining the route to pay respects as the funeral cortege passes. It will set out from St Dunstan’s at Ovingdean at 11.15 am, travelling along the seafront, past Brighton Pier, then up West Street, past the clock tower and onto Dyke Road.
