Later in the show.

Was a fitting tribute to The Great Man...

I do think it was very well done i must say .

For those that missed it (like me) should be able to get it on iPlayer from tomorrow

Would be nice if they can get agreement to show it about 7pm on the big screen on thursday

yes, it's this coming Friday. Service at the Turf at 1 p.m. with fans able to be there to watch him leave for the final time.


Thanks for the heads up on Football Focus. I missed it today.

There was a thread about it, with lots of bickering, yet it didn't even include the date and/or time!

Here's something in the Burnley Express:

The funeral of Jimmy McIlroy MBE will take place on Friday, August 31st when a private service will take place at 1pm in the James Hargreaves suite at Turf Moor.

Fair play to Tony Livesey (again).

A very well measured and scripted piece.

And very well narrated too; it was only right that someone with a proper accent did that.

A truly fantastic tribute to someone who evidently was extremely talented but also wonderfully modest.

Very moving.

Some great footage too, including some I hadn't seen.

Not sure of the image rights technicalities but would indeed be fantastic if that could be shown before the game of Thursday.

RIP

UTC

I finish work at 12pm that friday so will dash down to the turf to salute him.

I finish at 2, in Rossendale, I'm hoping to be there and hoping it's quite a long service.
If not, I'll be there in spirit.

Starts from about 40 minutes in.some wonderful film clips that brought back a lot of memories for me of Jimmy.

I've been looking for ANY kind of coverage over here, but not a single word.

It was a good piece and a great tribute to Jimmy, a Claret through and through.

Thank you Tony Livesey. Fitting and spoken with feeling.

An excellent Tribute. Tony Livesey you did the great man proud.

Works only in the UK What a shame. I am sure that there are lots of non-UK residents like me who would love to view it!
