George Bests Funeral

This George Bests Funeral web page brings you the poem read out by Calum Best. It was written by a Scots girl Julie MacLennan who sent it to the Best family










Farewell Our Friend by Julie MacLennan was read by Calum Best at his father's funeral

Farewell our friend, but not goodbye.
Your time has come, your soul must fly.
To dance with angels, find the sun,
But how we'll miss our special one.

You walked amongst us just a while,
Weaved your magic, made us smile.
Your life, so full of light and tears,
We lived it with you, through the years.

The golden days, they went so fast.
The precious times, why can't they last?
So many loved you, did you know?
We were not ready to let you go.

The stars from Heaven are only lent.
A gift from God, that's why they're sent.
We won't forget our Belfast boy,
You filled our lives with so much joy.
Your star will shine now in the sky.
Farewell our friend, but not goodbye.

We have not been able to source the video of Calum reading the poem but here is Brian Kennedy singing You Raise Me Up at the funeral
