Bollocks floral skip tribute to crash victim

Fond tributes were paid to man with a great sense of humour as dozens of people turned out for the funeral of Brian Burnham in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

The 54-year-old was killed when his car was involved in a head-on collision on the A417 at Crickley Hill earlier this month.



Brian worked at Smith’s construction and skip hire, in Gloucester, for many years and at the ceremony his coffin was carried to Cheltenham Crematorium on one of the firm’s lorries.

And, in a touch that brought smiles to the faces of many mourners, the skip carried a floral display featuring the catchphrase he always used when anything went wrong. It read "Bollocks" in bright white flowers.
