The Swarming Papparazzi..!
Filming for the evening news.
D.I.Y. Fanciers' Convention!!
Floral tributes - under 'heavy' gaurd.
Not everyone dressed in black!
Even the builders downed tools.
The Churchyard.
There were hundreds of people in attendance...
...everywhere you looked...
...you were surrounded on all sides...
...by so many people, who had come from all over the land...
...to pay their respects to someone they admired so much.
Even the streets outside were packed!
Respectful silence during the service.
His final appointment...and final broadcast.
Portrait of an Artist as The Man.
******
When we trod this land, we walk for one reason.
...to try to help another man think for himself.
The music of our hearts is roots music,
music which recalls history,
because without the knowledge of your history,
you cannot determine your destiny: the music about the present,
because if you're not conscious about the present,
you're like a cabbage in this society.
