His Funeral took place on Friday 6th September 2019. At his funeral it was mentioned that Graham was a Champion Dancer which came as a great surprise to all of us who attended. The Chapel was full with at least 50 people outside. Several went back to the Royal British Legion in Worcester Park where a tribute was on display including the photograph here.
