    Pretty sure you take the Falconwood exit off the a2 as you take the exit you will see the Crematorium on your left, at the top of the slip you have to turn right, then i would turn right again By Falconwood Railway station then do a u turn and cross back over the a2 going along Riefiled road, then carry on to the end and at the lights turn left then turn left again by the petrol station and that road takes you to the crematrium, best to check map 1st but sure that will get you there.

    The first left in Riefield rd and left at the end will take you in to the Crematorium.

    I believe the family will be having a private event after the funeral, but I am told that the plan is for those who want to say goodbye in true Charlton fan style (ie, get hammered), to meet up afterwards at the Abbey Arms, opposite Abbey Wood station.

    I'll be hot wiring a choo choo to pay my last respects to Captain on Monday. Look forward to seeing some of you albeit in such difficult circumstances. I will have to scoot back home to Merseyside in the early evening though. See you later.
