The funeral of Who bassist John Entwistle took place yesterday in his hometown, the very un-rock’n’roll Stow-on-the-Wold. The private service was attended by friends and family members including Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, and current Who drummer Kenny Jones. The Rev Colin Wilson said Entwistle was now "reunited with Keith Moon up ‘there’ making great music. I think he would want us all to be strong, determined, unafraid of the future, ready to meet every challenge, to believe in ourselves and in each other, and to try to keep believing in God, even if that seems rather difficult at the present time." Mourners and fans gathered outside the church to catch a glimpse of Entwistle's coffin being carried inside the church. A larger memorial service for fans is due be held in London later this year.
