Amazing Grace, on bagpipes - a beautiful hymn, and a reference to Star Trek (Scotty plays it at Spock’s funeral).

Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the... (chokes back tears) most... human.

Cue ugly crying, I love that scene.

Goodbye by Les McKeown. It was released after his death in 2021 and reached no.1 briefly, very poignant lyrics and one for all the 1970's teenagers who loved the Bay City Rollers.

Either Morning from Peer Gynt, or where my heart will take me by Russell Watson. I want them both played but I'll let my family decide at which point in the proceedings.

I think I’d have a poignant one and then a happy one.
