IT’S always a measure of the farewell to a fine comrade, friend or family member when the chapel is packed to the rafters.
So it was for the funeral of Dave Lewis, who died on January 7, aged 64. The truest of socialists, the sweetest of uncles, and the quality of comrade who leaves a big gap in the movement, and in the hearts of those who loved him.
From the chapel at Putney Vale to the graveside, we walked with banners, representing Lesbians and Gay men Support the Miners (LGSM), and Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign (OTJC).
