Services are scheduled to commence at 1430 hours. At the conclusion of the services, the PGR will be dismissed. 

I led the hearse as I had a flag bike, we had 9 scoots, IIRC, and I got to do what we all fear, I mucked up joining the parking line, and laid Gina right up next to another scoot! New scoot and I caught my foot on something while stopping and my foot down..... didn't.... sigh. The owner was very understanding, and for that, many thanks!!!!! Didn't look to be any damage but we checked it out..... onward!
