\"\"<\/a>On Monday I attended the funeral of the great patriot John Barnard Jenkins at Pentrebychan Crematorium, Rhostyllen, Wrecsam.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For obvious reasons, there weren’t many people there, just the family and a few loyal admirers. Including me. In fact, I think I was the only one there from the 1960s generation. God! I’m getting old.<\/p>\n

I managed to take a couple of short videos on my mobile phone. I put these out on Twitter and it seems only right that they should also appear on the blog. So here they are.<\/p>\n

The first shows the Cambria Band leading the hearse. John of course was a great influence on the band, helping Adam Phillips get it started.<\/p>\n

Here’s the second video, which shows the coffin being taken from the hearse into the crematorium.<\/p>\n

Although the family had asked for no wreaths I couldn’t help noticing as I left the crematorium a small wreath propped against a wall.<\/p>\n

The card, carrying the standard of Owain ap Gruffydd Fychan, ‘Glynd\u0175r’, reads:<\/p>\n

“To John Barnard Jenkins (MAC),<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With our utmost respect,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Unyielding admiration,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And absolute loyalty.”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
