I'm informing the Forum members of two funerals which are taking place in the Buckley and Connah's Quay area this week.

The first although not being a member of the Regiment or even the Army is the funeral of SAC Peter McFerran RAF REGIMENT of Connah's Quay. Those of you that might recall, Peter was one of the three RAF Regiment lads that died during a mortar/rocket attack on a base in Iraq. Peter will be buried in full military honours today. The service will take place at St Marks Church Connah's Quay at 1300hrs.

The second funeral is that of Mike Troy who died recently, Mike served in C company then A Company 3rd Bn The Royal Welch Fusiliers. Michael's funeral will take place on Thursday 9th Aug 07 at 1400hrs service at the Tabinacle Church Buckley near Mold Flintshire.

Our thoughts go out to both families at this tragic time.
