RIP Gids.You may no longer be with us but will never ever be forgotten..
Sorry - should have said before but Gids had requested NO flowers. As he was cared for with such kindness and respect at the Marlets Hospice Hove perhaps it might be appropriate to make donations to them. I suppose that all that really matters is that you are there to say goodbye. Thanks Nikki x
As there is a no flowers by request from Gids please feel free to donate to the Hospice that cared and respected his last days with us.

I travelled down to Brighton yesterday to pay mine and yours respects to our friend Gids on his new journey to that other place....In the end I took the Range Rover at the request of his friends as his was a big part of his life.
I must say that theTACR behaved impeccably not missing a beat and I arrived at Hiickstead services around 9.30am. I stopped here to have some breakfast and called Nikki Joseph, Gids friend to ask where she and her Husband Steve were. They were at the TA hall preparing the reception so I decided to drive there and meet up.
We met up and it was very nice to meet some of Gids other friends. Nikki travelled with me in the TACR to the crematorium but we had to wait down the road as there was another funeral and parking space was limited.
Eventually, Steve called and said to drive up. I got a space right outside the front doors. Gideon arrived and was greeted by two standard bearers from , one form the British Legion and another form the Korean Veterens. As the silver hearse passed the colours were draped in salute to our Gids.
A party of eight TA volunteers in full military uniform carried Gids into the chapel. His coffin was covered by the Union Flag, his hat and belt. Music was played as he entered the chapel from the 'Dambusters', this brought a few smiles from those present!
I would say that about 150-200 mourners were present, the chapel was full to the doors with many standing at the back and in ajacent rooms.
No hymns were sung but three musical items including Queen, Friends will be friends were played to a silent gathering.
A discription of Gids life was read by the priest, put together by Gids Brother John. A friend from his military days talked about his life and his love of collecting his toys! He never grew up was his epitath...
At the TA centre a large montage was put together by his nephew Glenn with many pictures from shows, events throughout his 48years.
Only one floral tribute was there, friends were asked to donate to the hospice that cared for Gids as he requested no flowers in lieu of donations.
All were invited back to the TA centre for light refreshments but as it was late and a friday I decided to travel straight home to avoid any hold ups.
As it was my journey was uneventful in both directions - I think Gids kept the way clear?-.
