Dearest Danny Your send off today shows how deep so many held such a special place in their hearts for you. Elton John's "Daniel" took on a new tearful meaning for me - as you entered - we both had a love for contemporary music. Always lighting up a room, indeed almost anything you touched, I feel privileged to be able to share your memory in mine and, promise, even in such a sad year, it won't be going anywhere soon! Of all the fabulous endearing tributes at St Paul and St Peters today, where nearly *400 of us from various parts of your life came to say goodbye, an emotional brother Matthew summed it up "there won't be anyone here today who can possibly say that their lives haven't in some way been enriched by knowing Danny".... .... and "Legend!" Eternally grateful to have at least shared some time with you, as are all our family, and the many who have crossed your path in this too short a life, time which we will all treasure... RIP buddy. 😥♥️💕💔 *Thanks to all those who made both the service and the wake such momentous occasions.
