Like many in the UK I would have wanted to pay my final respects to Stuart MacDonald at his funeral tomorrow but clearly that is not possible. This then is a token of my esteem for a wonderful man.

Our thoughts will be with his family and friends tomorrow , so very sad.
Watching a short video of him from our visit last year he will be sorely missed.
RIP Stewart

Is anyone else intending to go to the funeral today? We are trying to arrange a lift if anyone would be so kind.

If you go to cafe pazar at about 12ish they are laying on transport.

It is indeed a sad day that we are laying to rest Stuart Mac Donald. Life is full of takers and givers and Stuart was one of the latter. The effort and energy he put into his concerts to raise money for charity was commendable. It was part of our holiday to visit Lees and see him perform. I never managed to have a chat with him which is my loss as I am sure he would have some interesting tales to tell. I think there will be a pile of discarded harps which will have been replaced by guitar's and drums outside the pearly gates. I am sure the residents are going to have some great nights with Stuart. I hope his wife can find some solace in the fact he was so well liked, my thoughts are with her. R.I.P. Stuart.

Lovely words Ally

There must have been between 50 - 60 people gathered at Cafe Pazar to pay their final respects to Stuart, the vast majority of which were wearing yellow in some way or other. The only shame was that they must have underestimated just how many people would gather so there wasn't enough transport to take everyone up to the cemetry. We decided to not go up to the cemetry but from what we witnessed I'm confident that he had a great send off, surrounded by his family and many, many friends.

There must have been IRO 100 up at the cemetry. The service was held in lovely sunshine & was very moving. The padre read the lyrics of Forever Young & Lee gave a poignant eulogy.
Stuart will have a wonderful view over the sea for eternity
Steve, there were several people with spare seats in their cars that were offering lifts; we took a couple with us, so I'm sure you could have got up there.

A wonderful man that will always be remembered but never forgotten R.I.P. Stuart,calis will never be the same especially down at lees bar, a person that done so much to raise money for others,you were a joy to watch ,your performances were great,so sad.

The people of Fethiye and Calis (locals and visitors) have done Stuart proud today. As he did them on so many occasions.
A wonderful man (with a good woman by his side) who will be very sadly missed.
PS m I the only one who has been hearing Rod Stweart songs in their heads all day today. :( :( :(

If you had radio 2 on then not in your head H - his records have been on a lot today for some reason.
-
He was also on The One Show tonight which gave me a bit of a start when I saw him :(

Tickets for his 2019 tour went on sale today.

When we asked Stuart to perform at Soul Train 1 there was never a hesitation. Despite a comprehensive sound check before his performance where everything went fine, on the night we suffered really serious sound issues.
Myself and a number of people were absolutely distraught and to this day, even though out of my direct control, I feel that I let him down.
The following morning I went down to talk to speak to him and Linda about the problems we had undergone and to apologize, he simply said “George, that’s show business, things like this happen”
I’m so sorry that we were away from Calis on the day of the funeral, however we will visit and take up a glass of his favorite Captain Morgan Rum.
You are a great man, the world is a lesser place without you.

It’s sad that Stuart won’t hear the tracks from Rods latest album, this one called ‘Farewell’ seems particularly poignant, have a listen to the chorus xx
