Yes Jim the most requested funeral song ever...you can understand this if you read or listen to those lyrics. Harry was considered the fifth Beatle, he recorded with them and he is often on there old records, a great songwriter still a favourite of mine long after his death....

Fathers Day is not standard across the EU or indeed the world. For the UK it is usually on the 3rd Sunday of June so British expats here that "celebrate" such dates would see it this year as on Sun 21 June.
