Agreed, I will be thinking of my Granddad when it's played, it was his favourite hymn. Very emotional.

i think a few granny smiths in throats mine included

I probably won't be able to sing along due to the tears and the aforementioned lump in the throat.

they show the words on the screen

Abide with Me is played a lot of funerals. As is 'Angels' apparently. When I go I want 'Blame it on the Boogie'.

Yep, made me laugh at the time. Great song, but they do need the words on the screen. Massive karaoke to kick start the final.

It was fantastic at Cardiff in 2005 sung by Katherine Jenkins. Remember the TV shot of the grown man in a Hull shirt crying at it? It had been sung at his grandad's funeral I think.

Certainly a high point of any Challenge Cup final.

I had a lump in my throat this morning then I remembered what I was doing last night.

ahh, now we're talking!
I may have to pay attention now

Got to be 'Highway to Hell' (AC/DC) or 'Fire' (Hendrix) for me. Depends on whether it's a burial or cremation really. That'll freak em out.

The wife wants 'Don't you forget about me - Simple Minds'

A friend of mine had Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. Interesting choice for a funeral I thought.
