Bush Rummager 3,744 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Great bit of history in my opinion. Got a few pic's here.. just had to scroll back 2 years my gallery for them!! lol The monkeys ashes are actually in a small urn in a 'crime' museum down in Worthing on the south coast. We popped in when visiting for the day. Some interesting stuff in there to be fair... i wish I'd taken more pics!! Jacco's ashes... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
