Mourners also heard a poignant verse penned by Jonny’s daughter
Louise Thomas, including the words:
“All I ever dreamt of was that golden coin to find, Not to make it rich though, that was never on my mind.
"Every Sunday, off I’d go, bacon butties in hand, To meet fellow diggers, to scan and search the land.”
It ended: “There’s an open gate at the end of a field, Where that golden coin must remain, But please don’t
worry, for I am with you all, Until we meet again.”
Pal Terry Metcalfe, who organised the unique guard of honour, said: “He loved metal detecting to bits.”
