    thanks for all the suggestions people. It was a really hard and emotional day. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, had to skip the opening few lines of it just to get started. Didn't look at anyone, was a real out of body experience to be honest and I don't know how I did it. All his family appreciated it, I think I gave a good picture of the man and what he meant to a lot of people.
    Struggled about two lines in, got to a funny bit, was fine.. Struggled 6 lines from the end. Broke down on last line.
    Blubbed like a baby when I sat down. Still pretty exhausted by it all right now.
    The hardest part is having the wake with all his friends, I really want to phone him and tell him about seeing all his mates and have a laugh. It's a really odd feeling and I can't get it out of my head.
    Thanks again x
