This is 93-year-old Roy Blakey, who lived a very full, happy, and contented life.

Raised in Manchester, Roy vividly remembered December 23, 1940—not only as the start of the Manchester Blitz but also as the day his wife, Glynis, was born just a stone's throw away.

Roy began his career as a printer at what is now known as The Printworks entertainment complex in Manchester, where they printed millions of papers each week.

He later moved to Grasmere Press in Bispham, keeping up with the demand for bingo cards.

After marrying Glynis, Roy became a father to David and Stephen, who both paid heartfelt tributes to their father at his funeral yesterday, sharing lovely memories and sentiments.

Like many couples, Roy and Glynis retired to the Preesall area, where they embraced retirement through walking, gardening, holidays, and becoming "silver surfers."

They also cherished their time with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Roy’s life was truly well lived. It was also poignant to me that when Glynis sadly passed away, her funeral was conducted by my good friend and former colleague, Ian Abbott.

Roy will be fondly remembered for the love and joy he brought to those around him. 🌼❤️✨

I have so many fond memories of Chas and Ryan’s wedding at Camp Kátur Glamping near Bedale in my beloved North Yorkshire, especially when Ryan rode his bride back down the aisle on his motocross bike!

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years already! Since then, they’ve truly gone from strength to strength, welcoming two lovely children and moving into a new house.

I always feel immense pride in my small involvement in the journeys of the couples I work with.

Witnessing their growth and happiness is incredibly rewarding, and it reminds me of the beauty of love, marriage and family. 💖🏡✨

At the start of a new Leeds United season, I always buy a replica shirt with "SPEDD" and my age on the back.

The club often double-checks to make sure I didn’t mean to have it say "SPEED" in honour of the great Gary Speed.

What’s more important, though, is that the number represents what I will become during the new season.

This year, it’s 60—an age I’ll reach next March. I don’t find this concerning at all; in fact, I’m glad to embrace it.

Fingers crossed, I’ll reach this milestone, especially considering that, in my job, I look after many who have sadly fallen short.

It’s a reminder to me of the importance of celebrating life, cherishing each moment, and if you can afford to tick items off your bucket list then do it and don’t wait! ⚽️🎉✨💙💛🤍

Just after conducting her husband’s funeral in 2020, Christine Robinson and her family reached out to me following her Alzheimer’s diagnosis to prepare the content for her own funeral.

I had the privilege of spending two wonderful sessions with Christine, alongside her daughter Gill, at her nursing home, where we delved into her life and personality.

After gathering those insights, I crafted a funeral script, which I then presented to Christine.

We made some small tweaks together, ensuring it reflected her wishes perfectly. Fast forward five years, and I dusted off that script to present it at Christine’s funeral last Friday.

There’s often a lot of emphasis placed on the financial aspects of preplanned funerals, but I believe it’s equally important to prepare the content.

It’s about honouring the individual and celebrating the life of someone who has personally taken charge of an important step of their life.

Currently, I’m working on six preplanned funerals, one of which began last Wednesday, when, the lady I met with found the process incredibly cathartic, highlighting the emotional benefits of this preparation.

It’s a reminder of how meaningful it is to reflect on life and legacy before the final moments.

If you have thoughts on preplanning or personal stories to share, I’d love to hear them. 🌼✨❤️

Yet another Fleetwood legend was honoured yesterday at the funeral of 69-year-old Stuart Brooks, a self-proclaimed “proper Fleety Cod Head.”

What a vibrant life Stuart led, having been raised by his parents, Beryl and Bob, alongside his brothers Bill and Tony, and sisters Lorraine, Valerie, and Alanda.

He then became a proud father to Jordan and Chelsee, and the icing on the cake was his role as a “grandad ratbag” to Harvey and Ace.

Many family members shared delightful stories of Stuart’s antics, perfectly encapsulating one of his favorite sayings:

“Dance as if no one were watching, sing as if no one were listening, and live every day as if it were your last.”

Stuart's life was rich with experiences, from his time at sea to his love of horse racing and enjoying moments with friends in Fleetwood’s pubs.

I’ll leave the final sentiments to his devoted daughter Chelsee, who beautifully expressed:

“It was Stuart’s generous and loving heart that made him unique, as well as being a man who loved those closest to him unconditionally.

He was a bit like Peter Pan, wanting to be remembered as the ‘boy who never grew up’; someone who never stopped living life ‘in the fast lane’ and lived it ‘louder, funnier, and wilder’ than most people half his age.”

Stuart will be fondly remembered for his zest for life and the love he shared with those around him. 🐟❤️✨

What a delightful and kind review for a recent wedding!

It highlights how “stress-free” I strive to make the day for the couple, recognising that brides and grooms already have plenty to focus on as they prepare for, and on, their big day.

Creating a relaxed atmosphere allows them to fully enjoy the moments without added pressure.

It’s incredibly rewarding to know that my efforts in organising and supporting them contribute to a seamless experience, allowing them to cherish every moment of their celebration.

I’m committed to ensuring that each wedding is not only memorable but also enjoyable for everyone involved. If you have any thoughts or experiences to share about weddings, I’d love to hear them! 💍✨❤️
