Sad news from Karena

[Muzorewa]

Ditto the above, a lovely celebration and a great turnout. Thanks to the Bongoist who held the traffic up on the A6131 to allow the rest of the convoy (who had been separated in Skipton) to turn across all the traffic

Now I have been known to take one or two photos, and I did take a camera, but there's a time and a place for photographs and a funeral isn't it in my opinion. However, I thought it would be a fitting memory to have a shot of the 12th century Church of Saint Michael and All Angels where the service was held....



....and the lovely Linton Falls just upstream....









As said above, the flowers in the river was a great tribute which should last in the memories of all, young and old.

RIP Keith

We are so sorry but we couldn't make it today. Just wasn't able to make it happen. Did stop and raised my cup of tea this morning, with fond memories of a great man.

As Pete said, a very emotional day; very moving and quite lovely. Loved the flowers idea Karen...it all felt just right love. Well done to Keiths children too for creating a moving poem and song for their dad. Karens tribute to Keith made me fill up too.
A well loved chap who will be so missed by all who knew him.

We won't forget you Keith.

Didn't physicaly get there today. Blew a seal somewhere in the brakes 1st thing this morning. Made it to the garage that was MOTing my MX6 but that had failed on emissions 1st time round.

Wasn't back on the road 'till 3 but was there in Spirit all the same.

Heres hoping Kieth has a marquee waiting when the rest of us get there.

God Bless.

Can't add to whats already been said other than, and this might sound odd, but that was really a 'nice' tribute to a smashing bloke.
Loved the T shirts.

God Bless 'pops'

all i can say is thankyou thankyou thankyou - you made today special with the convoy and your presence = i know what alan means. Today had to be all about keith his familly his friends and the things he stood for i am certain he would have been laughing at us paddling about in the river in the cold water.It is nice to think that a part of him is travelling around in bongos - even after 3 years we both got the daft bongo grin everytime we set off for a meet. Now he doesnt have to wait for me to get off work to go for a joyride - the strangest thing with my crystal is that it doesnt feel cold like you imagine stone would and it his warmth and your friendship that will get me through this awful time -i hope that when the legal stuff is sorted and i have got packed and moved me and keiths hat will be back on the meet circuit.thankyou again xxx

I couldn't make it in person Karen, but my thoughts were with you...

[Bongoplod]

Glad everything went Ok and Keith had a good send off.

Hugs to Karen and family from me and Jean.

Muz I think your pictures were spot on, for us that did attend and want to remember a lovely spot where Karen's and our Keith went with the flow. Also for those that were not able to attend but would have liked to. I saw a waterfall and wished I had my camera with me and said to Sarah it could be in bad taste, but it wouldn't have been. It is a lovely peaceful place with the rapids of the river. wonderful!

I can remember the first time we went to karen and keiths house. They showed us around a few places. One of them was the little bridge over the river. I could have spent hours there, just contemplating life in that quit spot but we had to get back to sample the selection of alcohol that keith had stashed away.
Just one of the memories of keith that will live on in me

I am memorised by water, be by a river or sea I could quite happily wile my days away, the smell and the energy. One day maybe lol

noticed today one of the little cottages by the church is for sale -looks tiny and derilict so looked it up just to see £350'0000 -guess not then -just have to keep the tap running and imagine its a river.

[blobber]

You sure thats not the grottle price, might be a couple of quid cheaper for a local.
