Not unexpected news. I knew how ill Brian was and he left hospital last Friday to return home in Perranporth. I didn't post any news of Brian's condition in case he were to read it. I have left a message on Beena's answerphone and will pass on further information when I receive it.

Sad to hear. Thoughts for his family. 

RIP Brian.  Very sad.  My condolences to Beena and his family

So very sad.  Brian and I got our different cancer diagnoses at a similar time and shared the occasional communication with each other and his passing is a real shock.  As others have said, he was a true internet friend, often going that extra mile to answer a question or give some advice and always full of encouragement.  He is already sadly missed and prayers and thoughts are those who are grieving.

Very sorry to hear of Brian's death.  Although we never met, one get's to view other members of this club as friends.  Heartfelt condolences to Brian's family and friends.

From Brian's family 

There will be a service to celebrate his life next Friday (27 Nov, at 10  am GMT), we will post a link to enable to people to watch if they would  like to do so.

so as soon as I see it, I will post it here.

Thanks Sol.

We ventured into Cornwall two years ago to meet up with Brian to exchange a baseboard for his redundant H&M dual controller. He didn't look any different to his appearance in 2010 at the YMR show.

He was full of enthusiasm for his next idea.

I shall be reminded of him every time I run a train…. My thoughts are with Beena.

Doug

Echoing all of the above, please pass my condolences to Beena and all of their family.

:sad: 

RIP Brian - such a sad time.

Just caught the sad news of Brian's passing. RIP

Agreed, very sad.
My thoughts are with his family.

Shocked and shaken to my core by this news! It was because of Brian that I joined YMR years ago and got to make so many new friends here, and now yet another one gone! Our condolences to Brian's family, he will not be forgotten here.Rest In Peace Brian old mate.

I know I said I would post the link to view the service live but it is limited to a small number so I cannot post it here.

Once complete, after 24-36 hours, the same site can be used to watch a recording of the event in case you aren't able to view as it happens. This recording will be available for 28 days after the service.

 I will then post the link.

At the family's request, please do not send flowers, if anyone would like to  make any contributions, donations should be made to either of the  following Charities directly:

Cornwall Air Ambulance - https://cornwallairambulancetrust.org/

The RNLI - https://rnli.org/

Thank you Sol. 
Some of us may already have the link as it has been sent privately by email to at least some of Brian’s closer friends. 

The video service will be available at:
