The fabulous Dr Brian Davies, GP, was laid to rest today.
The service was held at St Edward's Church this afternoon. It was full to overflowing.
People who i haven't seen in a few years were there to pay their respects.
Three people stood up to do a little talk about him. His nephew by marriage, a former
doctor colleague from Hereford and Graham Benbow from here (formerly llanidloes).
All touched upon the Doc's aptitude ...ahem... for driving.
The only person who really didn't get a feel for the great man was the vicar. I don't know the
chap and the service was filled with christianity despite knowing that the Doc was an agnostic.
The Ghurkas sent three representatives out which was a really great touch and their uniform hat sat proudly atop his coffin.
I think the tears that did bubble up were less of sadness and more of being proud to have known the good fellow.
Thanks Dr D. Thanks for being the right person at the right time for so many people.
