Brian Ollier’s funeral

If the mark of a man is the number of friends he has, then Macclesfield photographer, Brian Ollier must have been up there with the best.

St Michael’s Parish Church was packed to capacity for his funeral service, and then some, by people who’s lives had been touched by him in some way.

The service was as good as anyone could have hoped for – including Brian – who’s standards for all things was way higher than most.

The eloquent and warm tributes from close friends Sheila Kirk and Hazel Ball could only touch on the life of the man we all knew – but were testament to how much he will be missed.

If Brian had been watching I’m confident he would have approved – though undoubtedly he’d have requested the odd tweak here and there!
