Robert Gill - Funeral 11th February 2008
On the night of December 26th 2007, Robert Gill went missing during a night out in Bedford. A week later his body was recovered from the river Ouse that runs through the town.
Robert was only 17 and will be missed greatly by all at Bedford Branch of CMA. Although not yet a member, as son of Fred, our Secretary and his wife Fran, he often rode out with us. He will be remembered as a quiet young man who was very much a part of our CMA family.
