Adam's funeral

[davidjenkin]

Hayden had the same flower football on his coffin, his coffin was also white. The two combined hit me a little for six. That being said, I managed to hold it together pretty much until 'My Hero' played, as that too applied to Hayden for me personally. Two heroes, one personal and one professional. I was so pleased to introduce them to each other and will cherish the one photo of them that I have

I was there outside and it was a very moving day today.
The Westcountry news coverage tonight was very good but the most upsetting
Thank you to everyone who helped to comfort me - Nursey and shabba in particular
Thank you to Adams family for letting us fans be involved today
Thank you to the people involved with organising it
RIP Adam

Greg, I'm not sure which broke my heart more, seeing the coffin or seeing you so upset. It was nothing, being there to comfort you, as I did for others and they did for me too.

We have a special club in Exeter City with extended family, and I wouldn't change that for the world.

Thanks to everyone for their reports, links and photos. Once again it is really appreciated by those of us who couldn't be there. Egg's photos do a great job of summing up the mood of the day.

That brings it home, really brings it home, we've lost a big part of the City family, god bless you Adam.

Thanks for sharing that, David J. Sounds like a tough time, mate.

Thanks to you guys that have posted links etc on here. Absolutely choked me up. Never thought I would be so affected by the loss of someone unrelated, and still can't quite believe it when I see highlights of his goals.

Rest in Peace Adam, you truly are an inspiration to so many of us.

...god that choked me up watching those clips.

As I father of two young boys, just seeing the hearse go past with the flowers spelling out "DADDY" makes me well up...just cannot imagine it. Like someone else said on here, the pain we feel as fans is nothing in comparison to what they family must be going through right now.
