Funeral Arrangements
The family would like invite friends of Alan Whittington and members of the transport industry who he has known, supported, or worked with, to join him and his family as he makes his final journey to the ‘crew room’ in the sky on Wednesday 28 January 2026.
Funeral Service – 1100 at Walpole St Peter Church, Church Road, Walpole St Peter, Wisbech PE14 7NS
Committal, Mintlyn Crematorium, welcoming close friends and relatives please.
Gathering and Memories – from 1300 at Knights Hill Hotel, Kings Lynn PE30 3HQ – please gather at Knights Hill Hotel to be joined by those attending committal service so we can celebrate his memory together.
As there is no parking at the church, or in the village (very narrow roads) they kindly ask people to use a special park-and-ride using vintage buses which will run from Knights Hill Hotel.
For those who cannot use the P&R (e.g. mobility reasons),they will make arrangements to hire a nearby area at a farm in the village. So that they can manage all the transport arrangements please RSVP to walpole1949@gmail.com at your soonest convenience.
Alan has requested he prefers bright colours to be worn rather than black, to celebrate the wonderful experiences of his life.
Should you wish to make any donation in Alan’s memory, please consider supporting the Carmen Benevolent Trust – https://thecarmen.co.uk/charity/ben-trust/
