    It would be nice to see one of the Commando units offer a military funeral.

    Be nice if someone could find out about his service in the RM, before Thursday, and say something about it at the service

    Hope he gets a good send off and if there is a turn out I wouldnt be surprised if it made the press again, maybe some details of his life and times too

    :( i would have gone for a cuppa and some cake while he was still with us, seems a shame that only in parting is it acknowledged he was lonely! Im going to try and make it down, i know this has been circulating a lot in pompey and some serving are aware

    Having just read pompey news online this morning, it looks like Jimmy is going to get a good turn out, with serving and ex serving members attending R.I.P Jimmy

    Good to see, however there are RMA branches across the country, including a National branch. there is no reason to be a "lonely ex-Bootie" (even a former one) unless you wish to be. RMA members will turn out for all members funerals, booted, suited and normally with a few words about the departed.

    That said it all ended well. BZ to all who turned out.
