Shirin’s funeral will take place at Holy Trinity Church at 2pm on Wednesday 16th March.  This will be followed by a picnic held on Odney Common - Shirin’s favourite place in Cookham.  Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate a wonderful life.  You are advised to dress warmly, and not necessarily in black. There will be a marquee and a few chairs….hopefully the weather will be kind.  It will be a truly Spencerian experience. John requests no flowers please - but donations to Amnesty would be welcomed.
