I was devastated to receive a message from my Brother in law,which broke the news about Ian and Carl's terrible accident.

It was nearly midnight on Friday night when I got the news,and just couldn't believe what I was reading.

My heart goes out to Trudi,and thier family,[first and foremost],Ron and the lads in the shop,and all the team at the track,who will all be broken-hearted.

A true Gentleman,well-liked by everybody,and always ready to stop what he was doing,[in the shop],to come over for a bit canny crack.

Ian and Ron,together,made you feel like you were the only customer in the shop.

Ian will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

R.I.P. IAN BELL.

Thanks Easyhostmedia for starting this fitting tribute to the canniest fella you would ever wish to meet.

I am now wondering where the rest of Bedlington are?

Fear not, HPW. Although it's been very quiet in here over the weekend, the rest of Bedlington have been showing their grief, judging by the sheer number of flowers outside Ian's shop.

Ian may be gone now, but he'll never be forgotten.

 

R.I.P. Ian.

[HIGH PIT WILMA]

Yes,Webtrekker,good point,when I took flowers and cards for Ian's Family and the shop Staff,I was impressed by the tributes which were laid,and reading the cards made me well-up,gud and proper.

Has there been  any funeral details been released yet?

Just for clarity, I believe the above event was cancelled due to no involvement from the family.

I can't seem to find any information on it now anyway.

I'll do what I can to let you know if I hear anything further planned.

[Christopher Doyle]

A source today tells me the Funeral is earmarked for 1:30pm on Wednesday 29th June 2016. This is dependant on lots of factors so is regarded as a "Pencilled in" date and time.

 

If I hear anything further, I'll let you know.
