This JustGiving page will finish today so I just wanted to say one last time, how utterly grateful for all the donations and all the messages not only Simon's family are but I expect, like me, all his friends are too. All the collective love for Simon has made a beautiful funeral and lively wake possible and so fitting that his many friends made it happen. The remaining money is around £300 ish and I'm hoping this will be put towards Simon's Memorial Tribute in London on November 25th as money raised was to cover all costs...Big Love X

The money that has been raised here totally surpassed the original target almost immediately and has paid for every aspect of Simon's funeral- allowing his friends to contribute in a helpful and loving way to send him off in style, which is fair to say we did! The love was palpable. It's impossible to say anything to conclude because I am not able to even consider a life without Simon in it. Like so so many, I feel grateful and privileged to have had him in my life and to know that he'll always have a place in so many peoples hearts. Big love

Basingstoke Crematorium RG252 Basingstoke (3.30) Many of us will be meeting to say our final goodbyes to Simon today and to share our love for this most unusually rare, beautiful human who is held with such huge affection from a massive array of people. It will be really difficult but being amongst others that love him and sharing our grief, love and stories should hopefully help ease today a little... The money that we've all raised has paid for everything, it's amazing. Again heartfelt thanks from all of Simon's family.
