Don't mention the funeral Ive you'll get shot down in flames! Some people don't seem to realise we didn't want to go to the funeral, it just would've been nice to think of his family and the band at that time and say a prayer or raise a Glass to the great man. But it's nothing to do with us we've only followed them all our lives (me since the age of 7)But nope mind your own bloody business and go and purchase a Memorial Rick Parfitt t.shirt instead.(the mind boggles) R.I.P Rick i hope you had a great send off fella. The Quo Army never got a chance to Salute you!(a real shame)

It's not done... Apparently it's this Thursday
www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/three-rick-parfitts-ex-wives-9623650
The three wives of Status Quo rocker Rick Parfitt all plan to go to his funeral this week, as a battle looms over his £10million fortune.
The star will be laid to rest at a private gathering for friends and family on Thursday, including his estranged wife Lyndsay.
But she will come face to face with Rick’s exes Marietta Boeker and Patty Beedon.
A source told The Sunday People: “All of the wives have expressed a wish to be at the funeral. It could be incredibly awkward. “His closest showbiz pals will also be there but it’s not open to the public. He didn’t want a big, over-the-top thing, so it will be very simple.”
Rick, who received an OBE in 2010, died in hospital in Marbella, southern Spain, on Christmas Eve from a severe infection following complications to a shoulder injury. He was 68.

The Quo Army never got a chance to Salute you!(a real shame) I have noted that certain FB FRQ groups are deleting anyone that mentions the funeral, or asks about it, sad pathetic ****s. All I'm saying is it would had been nice for FRQ Management to put a statement out stating the event had taken place, but once again, they feck up big time It's got noting to do with being anti Rick or pro Francis. It's just that lots of people do not want arguments about what should be a private family matter. Lots of them including me wanted this to be kept private for his young childrens sake. As if they were to go to the funeral I didn't want paparazzi sticking thier noses in where it was not wanted. Now we know it's this Thursday I hope for their sake the press keep away as it would not be right.

Now we know it's this Thursday I hope for their sake the press keep away as it would not be right. Never said anything about anti Rick Pro Rossi, FRQ is what I refer to them as now. Folk were always gonna ask about the funeral, NOT asking for details but asking if the event had happened, would you have expected differently ?. I agree, it should be kept private, nobody has said differently have they ? Yes, I too, hope that the family are permitted to say their final goodbyes privately without any media, somehow though I can't see the media staying away, Rick was a public figure,, but as for anyone else being their other than those invited, no, they shouldn't be & I truly hope everyone else stays away. OK fair enough, though my other point's are valid I have personally seen some quite ugly posts. Saying how "Rick belongs to us as he was in showbiz", sadly most of these posts about the funeral decended into slagging matches over respect for the familiy. I expected posts but as it seemed to be being asked on a daily basis I suggested that they put up a sticky saying "no information at the families request". Which I believe was the reason for the deletes. As admins on some of the FB group are in the circle and DID know the date but were told to keep it quiet, to avoid media intrustion and some of the more "obsessive" fans. I can think of two or three that I have seen over the years, perfectly ok but they evidently have some form of learning difficultiy not their fault of course but they could cause a scene which no-one wants. Someone though has leaked the date to the press, who I don't know though a name has been suggested over on the other side but who knows. Every band has some OTT fans look at Freddie Mercury and George Michael fans they graffiti all over Freddie's former house garden wall. With GM they wrote in the dirt on his Range Rover.

Every band has some OTT fans look at Freddie Mercury and George Michael fans they graffiti all over Freddie's former house garden wall. With GM they wrote in the dirt on his Range Rover. The majority of posts I have seen on FB/Twitter etc have been genuine requests simply asking if the funeral had taken place, none asked for details, I see no wrong in asking that at all. With regards to the FRQ groups, maybe their admins should have put a post up stating something like, when its known the funeral has taken place we will let you know,please respect the families privacy at this time" that in itself would have stopped the many requests. Yeah I have seen a few crank posts from a very small few seemingly DEMANDING to know when , where etc etc, I ignore these sort of folk, they clearly have no idea what the words "respect the families privacy" means. As to who leaked it to the press, if its the name I think you are referring to, I think yer wrong, simply pure speculation with no foundation at all. As for OTT fans, that depends on what you define as an OTT fan, for example, if there was a grave, I see no wrong at all in fans going to the grave site to pay their respects, I do however find it disrespectful for these fans to scrawl graffiti. A few years ago I personally went to visit Gary Moores grave, simply to pay my respects, done the same thing with Phil Lynotts grave too, are you saying I'm an OTT fan for doing that ?! I got the impression that most of those posts started fine and were left alone for a good few hours. However they then decesnded into arguments mostly in the evening. I don't know why it took so long to put up a note. I run a (non Quo) FB group and would have put something up straight away if just to stop the repeated posts. With regards the press leak I have no opinion on that just making a note of what's been said. It probably is speculation as I see that some people have an issue with this person. "I Know Nothing." No theres nothing wrong in visiting a grave to pay your respects, that's not OTT. Though I would not leave anything as someone else and these days usally family have to clear it up. I didn't go to his grave when I was in Ireland but I did go to Phil's statue in Dublin to pay my respects. That's just common curtosey, however there are some fans who go too far. I have seen one who proclaimed that Rick was her husband and if you said anything to her she would get very very nasty.

I think it's a shame for Rick's family and friends that the date has been leaked. It will be a difficult enough day without the intrusion of the press. They know when/where, do you really think that they will show respect and stay away?
As for who leaked it, someone from the undertakers, staff at the crematorium, don't think it would come from any of those mourning.
Personally, I don't know why some need to know the date and the place, I just wish the family, band etc could be left alone to give them peace to get through this in private without any unwanted intrusion.

It is disgusting to reveal place and date of funeral...I only wanted to know date so I could have few minutes to think of Rick on the appropriate day. Funerals are private I really hope 'fans' respect the wishes and avoid the area ... plenty of time for management to arrange a memorial service for public as what happens with stars usually

However they seem to think there is nothing wrong in lining the public highway to say goodbye. For me that is still against what Rick wanted. I truly believe him when he said "he did not want to drop dead in front of the fans". By that token he would not want our final memory of him to be his coffin. I respect that and if any pictures turn up on FB after Thursday I will be demanding they be removed.

Well some see no wrong in lining the route and waiting by the gates etc, personally, I do see wrong in it, but look forward to seeing who turns up Some clearly don't have the intelligence to understand what private means, Hopefully there will be a memorial for Rick, this is the time for the fans, not now Apparently we are also Bullies for asking that a mans wishes be respected.

I do not believe that the family released that info to the press. Someone has leaked it if they had just kept quiet his funeral would have happened tomorrow and no-one would have been any the wiser.

I'm less bothered about that as you don't have to click the link if you don't want to. I did say to someone that I did not like the photos of the flowers being shared on the page. Thing is on FB it jumps all over my news feed. I could leave the group but I want to let them know that I think it's out of order to be doing that. Makes us Quo fans no better than the gutter press.
