First Colour Funeral... It Had To Be Brighton

I got the call from my brother a week before the funeral. Could I come to Brighton to cover his friends funeral? I don't travel outside London so much now, I put together the Funeography Licensing to encourage photographers to cover different places. I accepted because my brother asked and also because I love getting back to Brighton when I can.

The train journey is always a pleasure. I was instructed to look out for a friend at Brighton station. I'd already been told that there was a colour and feather theme for this funeral. Ten minutes waiting and I spotted her with a huge feather placed in her pony- tailed hair. 

We drove to the lower part of the pier where the annual bikers gather. A sea of colour began to descend.

This funeral was very much about friendship and a real reflection of who the man was. There was a photographer there from the local paper. The Argus sent a photographer.
I took all the images I needed while we waited for the procession to arrive. It came down the road to the theme tune from the 1982 TV series Knight Rider. This brought rapturous applause and cheers.

The service at the chapel continued the same up beat mood. Of course there were many tears, but the laughter, singing, and dancing during the service kept a joyous feel to it all.

I'm pretty excited having done my first all colour Funeography Book. What wonderful funeographs to add to the archives.

See you at the next posting.

I dedicate this blog to the equally colourful and vibrant.... Lilian Uuk
