Such a great send off for John today. So many faces, blasts from the past too. We did him proud. Hearing stories of Johns many adventures and funny moments was an absolute pleasure! Thank you everyone. To use John's words he'd be "chuffed with that, it was a good craic!" Such a character leaving great memories!
