Title: Ken's Viking Funeral
Post by: Iain Fisher on July 09, 2012, 11:27:57 PM

Just back from Ken's Viking funeral.

Ken's ashes, along with those of his dog Nipper, and an effigy of his wife Lisi (happily still alive) were laid out on a (small) boat which was set on fire, and as it burnt, for about 30 minutes, archers sent arrows in the air, until the boat finally sunk.

More on this soon.

Early footage by Jago Juventas.  This film, plus two others, will be edited by Michael Bradsell (Ken's editor) into the official video.  The boat was bigger than it looks.

Nice. It was nice to see that Ken had so many friends at the end. But, where was the fat lady? The funeral is not over to the fat lady sings.
