The final farewell t to bob tucker Christchurch Dorset

25/06/2026

Dear Keith and Wessex FRS Team,

My family and I wanted to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped bring the vintage fire engine to my father’s funeral yesterday.

The engine was truly a wonderful tribute to my father, and we were so impressed by how clean it was. It was clear that a lot of pride and care goes into keeping it in such great shape. We would like to thank the whole team, including those who worked behind the scenes to get it there and back safely, for their professionalism and kindness during such a difficult time for us. We really appreciated you being there and all the effort you put into making everything go perfectly.
