Hi everyone,

This thread has probably been done before BUT for any new members or just for light relief today, what music do you want to be played at your funeral?

Me....? I’m in the Mood for Dancing by the Nolan Sisters.

Congregation must shuffle to it as I leave the building....

That will send me off good.

That's what my Mum had, it brings back such raw emotional memories when I listen to it. Dad had Sailing, the Royal Marines instrumental version.
