The funeral of the late, Fireman Roy Todd. LFB retd.

​On Thursday 16th April, 240FLM was once again “on duty” to participate in the funeral of retired LFB fireman, Roy Todd.
A sad day for all of Roy’s family, friends and ex colleagues who were in attendance at the services at Elstow and then Bedford.
Unfortunately, 240FLM suffered a slight mechanical problem whilst preparing to carry Roy on his last “shout” but with a hearse on standby, the procession was quickly able to proceed. With great fortune, the mechanical issue was resolved and 240FLM was able to complete its commitment.
It is suggested by Roy’s family, that he would have laughed at this little problem on such a special day, this did lighten our mood thankfully as we NEVER like failing in our duties.
Roy had mainly seen service over his career in the former, C Division in North and North East London and served at Kingsland rd, Kentish Town, Clerkenwell and Islington and will be remembered as a kind and caring man.
