Oh Lady Aly,
What a beautiful service, made me laugh at the character he was and it made me cry when you said your beautiful words.
Lord Horatio Swervin Mervin was totally impressed with this wonderful and meaningful farewell. Lots of love Aly…try and be strong, Merv will always be with you.
Well Done to All – Merv would have been rightly chuffed at such a turn-out. For Aly & the Girls – that is the longest poppy service I have ever seen – such a great tribute to a great bloke.
An exceptional sendoff for a old Mirage mate i knew in Butterworth/Williamtown.
RIP Merve and Lady Mudge my condolences to you and all family members .
I also will miss him on FB
Thankyou for the live stream today.
