Some of you maybe aware that one of our own Andy Paradise, passed away 2 days before  Christmas. This obviously came as a shock to not only his family,  friends and those of us who knew him from within the RAF Police Family also. 

Andy’s daughter Claire has asked for an RAF Police send off, and to that end an invite is sent to all of our membership to attend if they can. It has also been agreed that RAFPA standards can attend his funeral, even though I don’t believe he was a member of the association. 

The Funeral will take place at the Rosehill Crematorium near to Doncaster Racetrack on 23 January at 1220hrs, with a wake at the Grove Social Club, Conisbrough,  Doncaster. Could those attending please let me know (Andy Smith amsuae@me.com) they intend to do so as the family have requested a rough count on numbers for catering. In particular of any standard bearers are attending that would be good to know. Please note Standard bearers that there will not be any travel allowance if you attend.  Once I have a list of all attendees I’ll push out some more information.
