I actually listened to the whole service on WM at 5.30 last night. The hour and a half surprisingly flew by. His family were amazing - his daughter incredibly moving, his son managed to be hilarious - which must have took some dong but a real credit to his Dad with his resilience.

'Your Dad's a hero!' Yeah! Your hero just grounded me for a month!'

Yeh I listened to that and agree.  When his son was going on about people coming up to Cyrille in the street saying 'you're my hero' and his son replies with 'this is the man that has just grounded me for a month, that's your hero' was very funny and touching.  John Sillett's speech was good as well, from the heart as was Jason Roberts.
