Jimi’s funeral pallbearers 1st Oct 1970


 Dave Anderson, James Thomas, Steve Phillips, Eddy Howard, Donny Howell, and Herbert Price were pallbearers. All childhood friends apart from Price who was Jimi’s last driver. For some reason I get great comfort from it being a small unostentatious rather typical family funeral and that he was taken to rest by his childhood friends that the family got what THEY wanted and it was all the more respectful for that. Don’t know why it occurred to me today but it did
