The Mayor and Mayoress were among a large body of mourners who attended the funeral service at St. Andrew’ s Church of the Rev. and Mrs. Herbert Charles Pocock.

Mr. Pocock who had been curate at St. Andrew’ s since September, 1941 – it was his first curacy – was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Pocock, of The Mall, Ealing. He was for many years a church worker at St. Saviour’ s, Ealing and was employed in the Town Clerk’ s office in the same town.

He was married in July last year, his bride being Elizabeth Frances, elder daughter of Mr. F. W. Trehearne, of Woodville, Ealing.
