I had the opportunity to be a part of the convoy  it was an honour to amongst such dedicated company..

 

there was upwards of 70 trucks  and the line stretched over a mile with all the lights flashing it was an awesome sight  and hopefully the "Slow Down Move Over "  message got over to the motoring public ..

 

2 TV channels reported it on their news channels...also promoting our awareness campaign ...  

 

just an hour before the convoy was due to start...  an 11 car transporter fully laden ... the trailer caught fire and was blocking the slip road to the M3 .. blocking the convoy route  and totally grid locking the area .. 

 

Sincere thanks must go out to the Police , Fire department and Highways officers ... for going out of their way to get the road open enough to allow the convoy to pass through... in time for the funeral service ...
