Sadly, we’re unable to be there today to say our final goodbye to Ian in person, but our thoughts are very much with him, his family and everyone who knew and loved him. ❤️

We couldn’t let today pass without taking a moment to remember such a lovely man, so although we may not be there, we are raising a glass to you, Ian. 🍺

It was an absolute pleasure to have known you. You were always such a gentleman — polite, kind and complimentary, with that warm smile that could brighten the room.

You will be sorely missed by us and by so many others, but you certainly won’t be forgotten.

So here’s to you, Ian. 🍺
Thank you for the memories and for simply being the lovely gentleman that you were.

Rest peacefully, Sir. Until we meet again. 🕊️❤️

Codie will be entertaining us LIVE from 3.30pm until 6pm, so we’re asking all our wonderful Wednesday Club regulars to do what you do best — give her that famous Old White Lion warm welcome! 🦁❤️

Let’s fill the room, show Codie plenty of support and make her first appearance at The Old White Lion one to remember! 🥰👏

And don’t forget, we’ll also have PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT 🃏 — could today be the day that jackpot finally goes?

See you from 3.30pm! 🍻🎤🎶

As family and friends come together today to remember you and celebrate your life, our thoughts are with everyone who knew and loved you.

Rest in peace, Ian.
You are sorely missed and will be remembered with great fondness. 🕊️❤️

Sleep peacefully, gentleman.
