SIR – On Friday, December 10, I attended the funeral of a really remarkable and special man, Barney Stack.

It has been my privilege to have worked the adjacent plot on the allotment site to Barney’s for a number of years and to have had the help and friendship which Barney openly gave to so many people.

The huge turnout of family and friends at the funeral was testament to the high regard that Barney was held in.

Barney will be sadly missed by so many but never forgotten.
