The funeral of the late, Divisonal Officer John Gayner (rtd) Essex County Fire & rescue Service.

In support of our fire service colleagues in the Essex Fire & Rescue Service, on the 19th June 2024, 240FLM was proud to have been asked to step in and carry the late, Divisional Officer John Gaynor (Rtd) from Essex Fire and Rescue Service, on his last shout.
 
We attended Leigh on Sea fire station to collect John and then made our way to the family home.
​With the full cortege assembled, the procession made its way gently around the town passing Johns sailing club before arriving for the final service at Basildon Crematorium.
 
 
NB: In normal circumstances, the preserved AEC Merryweather based at the Essex Fire & Rescue Museum would have undertaken transporting John on this sad day, however, mechanical repairs that are currently underway prevented them from being able to fulfil the duty, hence 240FLM was proud to be able to step up at short notice.
