But here's the thing, a fire alarm went off in the middle of the videos we had.

So just when you're showing these lovely pictures of my mum, you know, the adjudicator fellow was a secular service, came up to the microphone with the fire alarm.

Fire alarm went for minutes.

Finally, took the microphone and said,

Who would have thought it?

A fire in a crematorium.

So that kind of set the tone for the rest of it.

So it was quite joyful, as was my dad's service last year as well.

We were touring and I just got back from a South African gig that we did.

just in time to hold my dad's hand.

The nurses said, he's been waiting for you to get back.

So I had two weeks before we went back to the United States and Canada.

And in that time, we organised a service at Balmoral Beach where we'd spent all those years.

So all the swimmers came and family.

It was a spectacular day.

The harbour just glistening, luminescent.

And each of us, myself and Stephen and Matthew and my daughter Lex spoke beautifully.

Told stories about Pepe, he was known as.

Yeah, my dad's life.

He was 91.
