M, I thought the whole ceremony was beautiful. The Aboriginal singer’s voice was beautiful and yes it was very poignant…

I understood the dance by the Aboriginal group to be one of the spirits of the afterlife come to take Reg’s body away. I found it very poignant.

Coming from a protestant background I also found the syncretic nature of the service quite fascinating.

Funnily enough I spent Saturday afternoon looking for the lyrics to Thunder and Blazes aswell.

I did find the following quote which I found amusing:

“It’s not quite clear to me when the name got changed to ‘Thunder and Blazes,’ but I assume it had something to do with the inexorable Clown-to-Gladiator-ratio tipping point.”

Farewell Reg we will miss you!
