The heavy afternoon showers on Saturday did not dampen the huge turnout at the funeral service at the Boulevard Baptist Church for Clive Grossett, the 53-year-old Heart Trust/NTA former lecturer.

There was a musical prelude by Leo Brown and Monica Shakespeare and vocals by DiMario McDowell while family and friends viewed the body of Clive.
