I duly attended my old friend's funeral yesterday in Chelsea, along with three other old friends from our nautical college days in Liverpool in the early 70s. Three of us did our first 2 trips to sea with Mark, the deceased.
Mark was one of those people for whom the words Free Spirit and Iconoclast could have been coined - one of those individuals with an abhorrence of authority, but would always fall on his feet.
The instructions to mourners were lots of colours and no ties. Some went over the top on the colours - one bloke sported a Roy Lichenstein patterned jacket.
A condolence was read out from Stephen Stills of CSNY fame - Mark moved in exalted circles from his days as a superyacht broker in the south of France.
