The funeral of the late. Sub Officer Ernie Cock

23/2/2021

 
​On Tuesday 23rd February 2021, the group were privileged to be able to carry 100-year-old retired LCC LFB Sub O  Ernie Cock on his last journey.
Ernie had served in the LFB from 1946-1976 mainly at Poplar and the now long closed Brunswick Road fire stations and latterly as F Division Staff Sub O.
He was visited by the 240FLM team along with members of the watches from Harold Hill Fire Station just last year to celebrate his centenary birthday.
Following that visit, Ernie had asked if we could take on this journey when the time came, and we were so proud to have done so and fittingly, a guard of honour from the LFB formed for the arrival at the South Essex crematorium in Upminster to add a really lovely formal touch to this sad day.
