A fixed Guardian Q&A prompt asked directly across respondents and years.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
At my late brother Martin’s funeral we played He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother by the Hollies. Martin lived a life that inspired me with the way he approached his learning difficulties and the love he showed us all with his Down’s syndrome. I often think that extra chromosome of Down’s syndrome is a chromosome of love, and you can’t have too much love in the world, can you?

The Hovis ad music.
Nothing – I don’t like music. I want my funeral to be uncomfortably quiet.
A song by Ellie Goulding – I am not telling you which one.
Jump Around by House Of Pain, and Pull Up To The Bumper by Grace Jones: stuff people could dance to.
