In south Wales, St Athan, a reverend called on social networks to prevent a former Welsh soldier is buried in anonymity.
Harold Morgan will finally departed in the company of a hundred people. Among them, an old friend lost sight and knowledge of work and thirty recruits of the First Battalion of the Welsh Guards:
"We're here with this appeal on social networks, it is obvious that it is difficult to keep track of all our former soldiers over the years, although the Association of Welsh Guards did a good job. And we are very proud to be here on this day to honor one of our former soldiers, "said Sergeant David Scarf.
Noting that apart from the staff retirement home, nobody would come to the funeral, the Rev. Rachel Simpson is felt concerned enough to launch an appeal on Facebook, then call again on Twitter.
Police officers, legionnaires, firefighters and some strangers also attended the ceremony.
Early 14th century church of St Athan was ultimately not big enough to accommodate the audience.
Harold Morgan had served in Egypt. He lived 14 years in a retirement home in Barry in the Valley Galamorgan, before dying at age 85.
