I popped into Abercorn Funeral Services recently to find my family plot in the Eastern Cemetery. Not only did they locate it but there was space for another stone.

My ashes won't be going in too soon I hope, but when the Chief finally calls me to Leith it would be reassuring to know that other Hibbies have been laid to rest so close to the stadium.

Are any of your relatives remembered there?

A bit of the subject, but, i was at Mount Vernon cemetery not long after the 2016 cup final locating family graves. It was great to see a lot of Hibs scarves, flags and badges that had been left by the grave stones. Obviously people up telling their dear departed loved ones that we had eventually won it

Luckily these days you can skip past the Butcher speech…

As a member of St Pats I remember that ceremony. A proud day for the club and a huge thanks to the person with the original idea.
