Yesterday I had the sad pleasure of attending the funeral of my auntie, who passed away well into her 80s. She was officially Barbara May Ellis, but her children, grandchildren, great-granchildren, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews and their friends knew her simply as Bead.
Those who knew her don't need any reminding of her sparkling personality and quirky ways - they were beautifully evoked by her grandsons Anton Llewellyn and Zavier Ellis. And for anyone who didn't know her, it's not much use me waxing lyrical here.
The important thing is that despite the tears and sorrow at her passing, no-one could think of her and talk about her without a chuckle and a smile, remembering her love of practical jokes and funny stories. She was a master of the art of fun and I want to mark out this little corner of cyberspace to commemorate her, with love.
RIP Bead
