Today at 11am until 2pm and being live streamed.
He played for us for a decade and was a director for 25 years.
Also played cricket for Kent for 13 years.
Seems a bit disrespectful the stream is just linked from Kent CCC and not CAFC.

Didn’t realise it was live streamed but worth a watch of the recording. Nice speeches by Jonathan Ufton and Neil Durden Smith (me neither). Altogether a great occasion and a fitting send-off for such a fine man.
Lots of Charlton characters there - and they let @Henry Irving in too.
Curbs, Gritty, Lennie, Colin Walsh, Bob Bolder, Richard Murray, Martin Simons, Roger Alwen, Mike Stevens, to name a few present.

I seem to remember you grabbing a few extra copies yourself @Airman BrownAirman Brown said:
Mine are for the museum. What's your excuse? 🥲
They won't be on eBay BTW
Noticed you belting out Jerusalem like a good Labour man.
Was a good service and the choral singers were incredible as is the setting, obviously.
Durden Smith was from the Lord Taverners. He told us that as well as being the slowest driver ever Derek couldn't swim. The Dean later said that he was pleased to hear that as it showed Derek was human after all.
Most of the Kent 1st XI were there and lots of Charlton people. As well as those Rick mentioned Peter Shaw, Sue Townsend, David Summers, David White and Steve Sutherland, Peter Varney, Chris Parkes and Mick Everett. Matt Baker gave a reading.

It's a great tune.
Nice that the football chant "bread of heaven" was sung too.
I think football chants were better when we all had hymns forced on us at school. Some good tunes.1 -
Steve Sutherland put up some wonderful photos on Twitter 🥰0

With the complete abandonment of faith in this doomed part of the world we have lost everything. Nations see it clearly and observe this about us and our dismal "morality". We still don't make the connections. Erase God and every last memory of Him and you are in trouble. Big trouble.
Such nations still have hymns as central to their culture and forms of worship and expression. We have a lot to relearn.2 -
It's like Pavlov's dog with some people.
Whooooooosh

Fittingly, the Dean of Canterbury is Robert Willis, although probably a lot more of a Robert than a Bobshirty5 said:0 -

As for that complete bullshit about nations still having religion - Russia would be a good example of that the Russian orthodox church is central to their culture, politics and life. How is that showing through to their morality?

Apologies for the poor photo but the reason I took some extra copies of the order of service was to display them for fans.
One is in the museum alongside Derek's England shirt and the other is in the fans bar as you can see below.

Here's Steve Sutherland in the museum today with the shirt and the order of service.
