Yesterday we paid our respects to and celebrated the life of the legend, the man, the myth & for me the big bruv (in-law) Neil Boyden. I've never attended such a packed funeral with 40+ people standing and I loved all the stories & photos shared. I remember his weekly cinema trips and how we'd discuss films, music and TV at length. We were lucky to eat many of his (& Lisa's) roasts. Neil always made us laugh and had some of my ifavourite phrases: such as "that's not my department" and "we in the trade". We used both extensively and often inappropriately. Andrew & I are grateful to have had him in our lives and for the chance to see his friends and our family. Extra love goes out to Lisa, Bethan and Dom, xxx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Neil. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
