Ruaraidh (Rory) O’Stiubhart was in the Royal Army Medical Corps service number 22812296. We completed his pre-paid funeral plan in 2016,  and our funeral directors remember him well. Rory was blind when we met him with his carer at his flat in Thornton Heath. As a veteran of the Armed Forces, he requested military honours at his funeral and that is what he got.

His funeral included a flag, standard bearer, last post and reveille.
