    They were; low budget demands.

    As Matt lives in New Zealand it would have been one hell of a strain on the budget to nip over to England for that shot.

    A lovely tribute to the lad.
    The landscape on the approach looked very arid though, I had a picture in my mind of NZ being very green.
    Would love to visit sometime.

    I once saw a programme with the gardener Monty Don in New Zealand....it was called around the world in 80 gardens...He was diving along, and stopped the car, got out and said..how much it look like the UK....and the reason he gave was, that British people who went there 100's of years ago, and were so homesick..that they sent boatloads of plants and shrubs to make it look like Home...

    Not for the first time this week, I have something in my eye....

    Well done Matt, that is a fantastic tribute and beautifully made. I'm sure Mark's family will be very touched. How do to Gaz too, how is the stunt?

    True but he'd already captured that footage on the way to the airport. Ah ha.

    Nice tribute
    If I should die, think only this of me:
    That there's some corner of a foreign field
    That is for ever England. There shall be
    In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
    A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
    Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
    A body of England's, breathing English air,
    Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

    And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
    A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
    Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
    Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
    And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
    In hearts at peace, under an English heaven

    Very good and a fitting tribute. Why not contact Look North and get it on television, worth a try.
