R I P Greg & John

John Noakes, famous Minor convertible owner and a man whose catchphrase "get down, Shep" is still heard today in sheep management circles, died at 83 today, but Greg Allman, musical legend and even more famous than the well-loved Blue Peter bloke, only predeceased Noakes by a couple of days.
So just suppose that the two entertainers were to have clashing funerals and you'd been invited to both. Whose would you pick?
I'd go to Greg Allman's do, because he'd probably have the better tunes, but then I've often wanted to meet Lesley Judd, she who inspired the younger Charlie Dimmock (probably) and she'd be more likely to turn out at the Noakes funeral. See the dilemma?
Oh, and both of these chaps will be sorely missed, as no doubt will Roger Moore, famous for that white Volvo, etc..
