I've just returned from a funeral. The deceased was the mother of a school friend. It was a sad occasion anyway, obviously, but, in such circumstances, I was reminded of my own mother's funeral. Both funerals were held in the same Catholic church.

Some levity was brought to the early part of the proceedings as a pipistrelle bat (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) was flying around the church. Some of the congregation were needlessly ducking as it went past. Of course, the Meatloaf song sprang to mind.
