Pete Mitchell's Funeral

At least 200 cyclists met at the undertakers.

We then followed a funeral car to the crematorium at Leatherhead with the hearse bringing up the rear. The cyclists were led by members of the Phoenix Club.
There were so many at the crematorium that not everyone could get in. The crematorium manager read several touching tributes to Pete, two of which were from his children.

Afterwards we stood around for a while in the sunshine.
Then on to Horton Park Golf Club where despite the sadness of the occasion most people were in the mood to be grateful for his life.

Thanks, Bernard.

It was all a bit overwhelming on the day, so I am glad that other people have taken pictures and video as a record of something so special.
