THE funeral of former Sea Cadet and officer Bill Vine will be held at the Surrey and Sussex Crematorium next week.
Officer Lieutenant Vine died on May 5, aged 86, after an illness.
He was involved with the Reigate unit for many years, starting as a Cadet just after the unit opened 75 years ago.
He then became one of the Bounty Boys on board an old sailing vessel named TS (Training Ship) Bounty, where sailors had pre-service training before going on to active service.
His funeral will be held at Surrey and Sussex Crematorium in Balcombe Road, Crawley on Thursday, May 22, at 2.30pm.
