Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.


my heart goes out to his whole family, his parents Andy and Sharon, his brothers Gareth, Dean and Ryan, his Granparents Ken and Pauline Backhouse
he will never be forgotten and now joins his Great Uncle William Backhouse on the towns roll of honour

Rest in peace young man xx

Very sad news indeed. May I remind everybody that there's a 'Help For Heroes' R.L. Legends v Army match on Saturday 25th July at the Jungle (LINK), giving us a chance to show support for our servicemen and women and contribute to this charity that provides some of the help and support they need. R.I.P. James.

So very sad, losing James, who put his life on the line, fighting so that others may enjoy the freedom we all take very much for granted in this country.

It puts rugby very much into perspective, deep condolences to his family and friends.

This is extremely sad news. As a nation we are indebted to the sacrifices of our heroes in the armed forces.

Condolences to all who knew him. RIP James.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

So so sad, and an amazing turnout to see all the repatriated soldiers given the true respect they deserve, dead soldiers never truely die they live forever in the regiments they serve, full respect to the lad and condolences to his family
