It’s like old movies

In the states, it’s common for a Navy family to be buried at sea. So to see it done in the UK is special. Though, there are a few differences but some similarities. Differences are: A casket being used instead of a coffin, drilling holes in the casket to help it sink, and the family is not allowed to be on the ship as it is a deployed one. The similarities are: the phrase “we commit their body to the deep” being used, most bodies are cremated, and dropping the body in a very similar way. There is one thing we do here in the states that I’m not sure if you guys do it as well, and that is turning the cremated remains into environmental friendly reefs.

Well, not sure what the Internal Revenue Service of the US would have wanted with him...but if you are referring to the IRA then yes. : ) He had his boat out for lobster and a remote control bomb placed in the boat the night before was detonated. The IRA claimed responsibility. He survived the blast, but his legs were almost blown off. He was rescued by a fisherman that was near the explosion, but did not survive when they made it to shore. In this video, it was he that kissed the wreath before the toss near the end of the service. If you read about him you will find he was instrumental in Prince Charles's marriage decisions...and likely why he would later chose Diana over Camilla.
