Ben Brooksbank passed away on 24 February (not 20 February as stated on some other forums) and his funeral took place on 20 March, which I attended. Ben was 91. He had a good send-off including reference to his railway interests and authorship.
Amongst other things, Ben was the author of books on the East Coast Main Line and World War Two damage to London's railways.
He also had a huge archive of photographs, taken over many years.
In acknowledgement of his interest in the LNER, I made sure I wore my LNER tie to his funeral.
