A whole interview from Bird where he didn't mention "that I've got a new book out".

Hi all, first post on this forum - now both the BBC and Harry's family have announced that his funeral will be open to the public and that it will be held at York Minster on 1st August (Yorkshire Day of course).

Very fitting for his funeral to take place on Yorkshire Day, BTW Welcome to the Forum!

Sorry just realised I misread the article, it's the thanksgiving service the public are invited to, not the actual funeral itself.

If its anything like Richard Whiteley’s memorial it will be quite an event. I dare say Look North will devote that day’s coverage to the service. It would be nice if Calendar followed suit.
