I had always called it The Jolly Toppers… When in point of fact I was to learn it’s known as The Jolly Topers… But never-the-less Uncle George’s Wake went beautifully and swingingly well. There were oudles of food carefully prepared by Daniel, far too much in fact, that amounts had to be carted home afterwards by several of the mourners… And it was a good wake, after an equally good memorial service in Stopsley Green. Those there to mourn the loss of Uncle George, Grandad George, Great Grandad George, and relative and friend George was the entire Callaghan family and friends, the proceedings being conducted with enthusiastic traditional valour by the Canon Phillip McDonough and with assisted poetry from Marilyn - Wordsworth ‘Daffodils’ and Christina Rossetti’s ‘Remember’
