Which poem was it?

Oh yes, that's another one that always gets me...

I don't watch Corrie, but I welled up in Four Weddings and a Funeral when John Hannah read Auden's Funeral Blues.

have to agree about the poem. it was read at my mothers funeral and since then whenever I hear it (it is quite often quoted at funerals sad) I fill up.
we know this is fiction and a soap but that does not stop us being moved by the words and the sentiments expressed in relation to our own lives and losses.

With hindsight, I think it was that poem that started me of!!!

I loved her cardboard coffin!
(That poem always makes me cry anyway...)

I can't believe this - I'm fighting back the tears at a fictional funeral! I'm not usually the emotional type! Is it just me? blush
