FOND farewell: Mattingley parish church was packed out last week for people to pay their respects to David Carrow, former chairman of Hart District Council, treasurer of the parish, and RAF pilot.

His stories of wartime exploits as a youngster enthralled family and friends for years, and he will be sorely missed.

Mr Carrow has had his share of grief to bear over the past few years, but it is comforting to know both wife Barbara and daughter Julia will be waiting for him up there on that cloud!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Richard, Charles and the whole family at this difficult time.
