I lived in Cromer in Norfolk for 9 years, where I was privileged to be a friend of Lance Beeke, who died on the 10th August this year, aged 84. Lance was a father and grandfather, an artist, a great laugh, and a thoroughly good chap. His daughters Tiphanie and Jemma organised the funeral on Friday 30th August, at Cromer's St Peter and St Paul's Church, and it was a perfect tribute to him.
A few memories here...
2002, I think, at my friend Kathryn's flat, and below with my cats Francesca and Mimi. |
New Year's Eve 2004, with Julia, at my flat in Pier Court. |
The cremation was family only, so we went to the Red Lion in between the service and the wake. So good to catch up with old friends!

Me having not had enough coffee, at 6.30 am on the train to Peterborough |
Lovely to see you Julia, John, Lisa, Lee, Eloise, Gail, Tiphanie, Jemma, Chris, Mark, Richard, and especially Kathryn :)
RIP dear Lance, a fine fellow indeed.
Meeting Judith at Penrith station, then onwards to The Waterside, where we have lunch just before getting the ferry at Ardrossan
Arran from the ferry :)
Many, many thanks to Barb, Georgia, Darlene, Judith and Dusk for making this another memorable and delightful week. Miss you all!! xx
