  1. It sounds like you need a dipstick for the waste tank Sam ;) Was the boardwalk up to Ranworth Broad open if you got that far.. strangely was shut the other week I fancied a wander.
  2. She certainly couldn't have gone to anyone better.. Relax now and enjoy her :) We will see you at the marina sometime soon and I'll certainly be following "Mermaids Meanderings" :)
  3. Hi all, Huge thanks again for the comments and thoughts. Let me provide a brief overview of what was the best send off we could have hoped for. At 11.00 Dad arrived back home, Close family and friends followed dad as he headed off to Hemsby Beach for a quick stop. At 11:30 we arrived at Hemsby were the Hemsby lifeboat crew bowed in respect. The Hemsby lifeboat flag was placed over dads coffin and a chelsea flag was placed over the top of dads coffin. Hemsby crew of 6 joined the precession with the lifeboat "Broads Marley" at the end. Just after 12pm we arrived into Gorleston Crematorium with Hemby lifeboat providing an honorary blue light escort. We were amazed to see a huge group of people appear. Myself and 5 crew of hemsby lifeboat carried dad into his service with "Nimrod" by Elgar playing. It was honour to walk past a Royal British Legion flag bearer who kindly had attended to honours dads voluntary service as a Poppy appeal collector. The service was conducted Reverend Robert Soanes and Dusty Miller who had been friends and support with dad at James pageant hospital via the Mcmillian nurses. Blue was the colour in the service, more than one Chelsea FC shirts clearly visible! I've attached a copy of the service. The service was amazing and tributes were paid by Dan and two other members of the Hemsby crew, A friend Alan who dad met via the Mcmillian coffee mornings at James Pageant hospital and Phillip who dad met whilst conducting yet more voluntary work in Thamesmead. I don't think there a dry eye in the house and everyone was moved by the genuine love and admiration for dad. Those that managed to get through the service were in tears when "I’ll See You Again" by Westlife played. We left dad with the curtains open and "Nessun Dorma" by Pavarotti playing. Approximately 70 people attended the service and twice than expected joined us at The Boathouse in Ormesby for a celebration of dads life. As a family, we can't thank everyone enough for attending and to the amazing crew from the Hemsby lifeboat crew and to Alan and Phillip for the moving tributes. There is nothing more we could have done to provide a better send off for Dad and although a difficult day I'm so honoured with how it's gone and worry hugely that I have to try to fill such shoes! If you've not managed to donate to dads memory and to the Hemsby lifeboat already please do via the link is: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/91noE7NU5H Dads page for tributes is https://ianhathaway.muchloved.com/ Those that have so kindly donated, as a family we would like to send you a thank you a card and a printed copy of the order of service. Please do PM me your postal address so we can get this to you. Hopefully the service has been recorded and I will share a link here. OoS Ian Charles Hathaway(Singles).pdf
  4. Just a bump and a reminder. Dads funeral is tomorrow, 12.15, Gorleston Crematorium.
  5. Hi all, I feel Dad would have mentioned something here about Charles diagnoses, No doubt the king will receive the best possible treatment though and fingers crossed he makes a complete recovery. Huge thanks to all the kind thoughts and comments and for all those who have donated. The links to donate to Hemsby Lifeboat in memory of dad is: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/91noE7NU5H (Commisson free). Online condolence book: ianhathaway.muchloved.com.
  6. I think the buses are more frequent from Potter although they do go around the houses apparently. If you are a good walker the train station is of course at Acle. Services are with Sanders at potter: https://bustimes.org/localities/potter-heigham
  7. Thank you for the donation Sam and Graham. (and again anyone else certainly those that are showing as anonymous).
  8. Many many thanks :)
  9. Thank you indeed mark, Dad will be honoured indeed if he saw this as will Dan and the team at Hemsby. Thank you again for all other donations and kind thoughts on the condolences. Once again all are welcome at the ceremony next Friday and at the wake which is being held at the Boathouse at Ormesby Broad. If you are unable to attend I may have some printed programs which we can share about, please PM me and I'll get one in the post.
  10. Thank you Mark and thank you for your kind donation too. Thank you too Jean and the other autonomous donations. Dad would be honoured for sure.
  11. Hi All, Just a bump too. Once again all are welcome to the funeral at Gorleston. Regarding donations to Hemsby Lifeboat. Sadly they don't have a website at the moment so it's not quite straight forward to donate. We have a few options: Direct BACS, probably PM me for details, although I think the bank details are in the public realm it's probably best not to post them online really. Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/91noE7NU5H (I've set this up, Paypal charity donations are commission free so this way all monies donated are passed on). Online condolence book: ianhathaway.muchloved.com Set up by the funeral directors, there is the ability to donate on here although there is a commission taken. Please feel free to sign the online condolence book too: ianhathaway.muchloved.com Alan
  12. Hi All, Please be advised: Ian Hathaway's (Chelsea14Ian) Funeral will be held at: Gorleston Crematorium on 9th February 2024 at 12.15pm All are invited and welcome, Dad's hearse will (Hopefully) be escorted by the Hemsby Lifeboat Crew (as long as not needed on call) of which he was a keen volunteer. Donations are requested to the Hemsby lifeboat, (I will revert with details on how to donate). Those attending please feel free to wear blue in recognition of his support of Chelsea football club. Please feel free to PM me if needed regarding the funeral. Many thanks again for the messages and a big thanks to the Hemsby Lifeboat crew. Alan
  13. Boulters maybe worth a shot too, they try to keep in stock engine parts, they have a van and tug boat and may come out https://boulters-chandlery.co.uk/
  14. Hi All, Thanks again for these kind comments and thoughts. Dad did indeed pass away at James pagnets hospital at 9pm on 10th January, sadly his body finally gave up but he fought strongly right to end. Thankfully he did regain the ability to talk to us for a couple of days and he did know you were all thinking of him. We are just arranging the funeral but it will probably be held at Gorleston Cemetery, we are hoping to have some assistance from Hemsby lifeboat crew who may hopefully transport dads coffin which I think would have brought a huge smile to him to know. EVERYONE is welcome to attend the funeral. I will provide the date as soon as we know. Dad naturally wanted his ashes scattered at Stamford Bridge but this isn't possible. His parents are buried/scattered at the commonwealth war graves in Cardington where granddad was a radio operator with the RAF airships, so we feel that would be best resting place. Chelsea have a memorial wall and we will commission a plaque to be placed on here too.
  15. Thank you. I will provide funeral details as and when. At least he is now at peace.
