Well what can i say, its been a long time since we have all done this for someone we have lost and to me it was a great turn out and to see so many people respect one man, good movie septina.


When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm,
There's a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown..

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.......
You'll never walk alone.

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.......
You'll never walk alone.​

song that can fit the memorial and how we all feel when someone leaves us and moves on

Also, to make sure it will not go away in someone's chat.log, the speech Vindicator, Gamblors brother, held in Albion's Church in Camelot:


[21:28:58] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "Hello to those joining and thank you for coming : )"
[21:29:08] @@[Guild] Borni: "ok Vindi start speech pls then Marchegiani then bugy"
[21:29:21] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "Today is both a sad day and a day for rememberance. I have never felt so much pain as now, the second I heard the doctor tell me my brother had just died, my heart broke and I was shattered as I had just lost a big brother, a friend and"
[21:29:33] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "a gentle caring soul had passed on. Im just going to come out and say it, my brother gamblor or James was a great guy. I always loved my brother but maybe I didnt express it. He was always there for me or my other brothers and sisters when"
[21:29:47] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "he was needed or just u wanted to talk to him. He never seemed to get stressed about anything. He took one week, one day at a time and one beer , one sip at a time"
[21:29:58] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "kids in my family. He was the first born and with that came alot of responsibility which James/Gamblor never had a problem looking after. He was also a fun guy, he was all about fun. This very game is evidence to that fact. he loved to"
[21:30:17] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "to play and have fun. For hours on end me and my brothers would wrestle each other and play football in our back garden. He would take me and Sirex in to town for treats to buy us presents and food when we were younger and he still enjoyed"
[21:30:33] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "going into town with us up until the sad sad day of his death. I would like to explain a little about what happened with my dear brother."
[21:30:45] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "At around march 17th, St. patricks day, my brother Gamblor, was having chest pains. he said that he could not breath properly, so he took the day off work and went into hospital. The doctor looked him over and gave him some pain killers."
[21:31:21] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "A few days later his breathin was so bad that he almost collapsed in his apartment in scotland. he called an ambulance and was taken to hopsital. They did an x-ray and they told him that it was pneumonia <SP?> A really bad chest infection"
[21:31:41] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "They gave him some more painkillers and sent him home to rest. He didnt want to stay at his home in scotland so my brother < playing Gamb 2nite> flew to Glasgo to collect Gamb. he took him home and while he was at home, our family doctor"
[21:31:57] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "looked over james and sent him in to hospital for a week of testing. On the 5th of april, a wednesday they told my brother that he had testicular cancer. We were all so shocked and upset but gamblor told us not to worry and he would fight"
[21:32:17] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "it for us all and it was no problem. So he was set to go for an operation to remove one of his testicules on friday the 7th of April, we were slaggin him about being 1 ball b0i and a real wanker an all that, but on friday morning as he was"
[21:32:35] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "showering for his operation he collapsed in the shower because of shortness of breathing. they told him they were going to do a scan on his lungs with a diff type of x-ray and that he was going to be put under general anasythic < the sleep"
[21:32:54] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "drug> while they were doing the scan, Gamblors heart stopped because it was not getting enough oxygen from his lungs. They tried to revive him and fought valantly to save my brothers life but alas they could not. James Duffy / Gamblor"
[21:33:10] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "Died there. They say after looking over things that his cancer was much worse than simply testicular cancer. He had it in alot of his body and they were amazed Gamblor was even standing as that much cancer should have knocked any man down."
[21:33:33] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "my brother was never one for moaning and whining. That is why, yes it is ok to mourn our lost friend and my brother but he would not want us to dwell on the unhappy event of his passing but more remember the fun times you all shared with him."
[21:33:51] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "I want to ask you all now to stop. Think of a memory you have of gamblor which makes you laugh or you enjoyed and remember him : ). I have 23 years of great memorys so you will excuse me if I take some time remember a great man and brillant"
[21:34:09] @@[BattleGroup] Vindicator: "Brother, Thank you all for your attention and Smell you later Skaters"

Your friend, Gamblor, just left the game. :(

I really regret that I was unable to attend the meeting. Altho I haven't chatted with him much, from the few times that I have I'm confident that he was a very nice and friendly chap irl.

Thank you all for coming.

I was really moved and impressed by the mid presence at the memorial. I didnt know if any mids would turn up but when we arrived, we were greeted by an army of mid mourners with a happy smile and a cheeky wink :).

To the hibs there, you guys were brillant. My brother loved to play with MH and would never stop telling me how great you guys were. I suppose SS on excal were very lucky he had such a strong bond to stay with them alot because he thought the world of you lads and loved Hib as awhole. I think its an Irish thing ;).

To the Albs that were there. I simply cannot put words to what it means to have so many people show such great sympathy and affection through a game. Even though we held Gamblors Funeral just about a week ago now, it seems fitting that I can lay him to rest after such a moving ceremony.


I showed the event to my family, as they only knew we played Daoc and never payed much attention to it but last night they took notice. My mother cried and she said that she was going to say a prayer for every person who was there that day. My father with tears in his eyes said he did not know that people 1000 miles away could feel so close to our family.

I thank you all again. Gamblor will never die in my mind, as long as I and you all never forget him :).

Looks like a very nice ceremony, I'm very sad I couldn't make it myself. Gamblor was a good friend and guildie from the early stages of my game, and I miss him dearly. All the movies posted here capture a lot of that, thank you for making them.

Yup I think U r right on the money there.

Glad that this is apreciated makes it worth every second you where there.

If showing our respect like this means anything to the family as I can see it does, it's been worth every penny many times over.
