and died later that night in his cottage, and of his funeral procession
(13 August) :: full descriptions can be read in Our Lady's Mirror memorial
number, Autumn 1958-Winter 1959 :: after these
are (colour) photographs taken by Graham Howard on 11 August 2008, the fiftieth anniversary of Fr Patten's death |
in
1958, by mistake, the Guardians' cross was carried at the head of the
procession instead of in front of the coffin |
