This was sung unaccompanied from the back of the church at my sister-in-laws funeral - broke everybody's hearts, but it was a lovely moment.
Unfortunately, by the time the guitar solo in Freebird is finished, several more of the congregation will have passed away ...
A good friend of ours passed away. No one as allowed to wear black, it was all Hawaiian shirts and bright colours. His coffin was airbrushed with a chequered flag blowing in the wind. He loved fancy dress parties and was wearing his favourite white Elvis suit, and as left the church they played "The Wonder of you" completed by : "ladies and gentleman , Elvis has left the building" as he passed through the doors. Then a motorcycle/sidecar hearse , "always look in the bright side of life" as he was lowered into the ground, followed by a massive fancy dress party. Top bloke. RIP Dene, top fella.
