WE WOULD like to thank everyone for their kind and thoughtful messages of sympathy and condolences after the death of Fred Gore [one of Heathrow's most prominent trade union leaders].

The Guard of Honour by the members of the Burma Star and the readings at the service were a tribute to his life.

The great attendance at the church reflected a lifetime's work of helping others and an acknowledgement of the many friends he made.

The family have drawn comfort from the knowledge that his efforts have been appreciated by so many.

JEAN GORE and FAMILY Stanwell.
