Title: The Funeral of a Policeman
Tags:
Blog Entry: That was the most heart rendering funeral I have ever been to. The main street ...Samoset Street...where the cemetary is ....was lined with motorcycle police from all over the state of Ma. and other nearby states. Hundreds. I tried to take some  discreet  pics but got a lot of my feet. Maybe I can upload what I have later. The whole of Plymouth's police marched in force. The family of the deceased officer and were transported in chartered busses but I didn't take pics of that part as I didn't feel it appropriate. The bikes were lined up for  close  to a half mile. There was a huge band of bagpipers playing all the way. I only had one kleenex in my purse as I had just changed over to a different one and didn't bother putting in a new small pack. I did a lot of nose pinching. The police were at their bikes standing at attention..we put our hands on our hearts...very touching. We heard the 21 gun salute from the cemetary and then a helicopter flew over with flashing lights. I shall not forget what went on today. He was actually being buried close to where my husband is. He was 44. Similar to one of the firemen who lost his life in that tragic fire last week. So very sad.
