🚌 HELP NEEDED — LONDON BUS HIRE:
The procession is leaving from Worcester Road! We want to hire a London bus to collect people there as it is a 5 min walk from Sutton Station, then follow the procession to the cemetery, and take everyone to the wake.
​In true George Major style—because Dad loved a good discount! 😂—does anyone know a bus contact who could do us a bit of a deal for a Pearly King’s final ride? Please reply directly if you have a contact! 🙏
​👔 DRESS: Pearly Regalia, traditional black, or a splash of red, white, and blue.
🍻 WAKE: TBC
Transport via bus provided!

It is with heavy hearts, but immense pride in a life so fully lived, that we share the passing of our beloved Dad, George Major.
​George passed away peacefully on the 1st August, surrounded by three generations of his family.
​To many, he was the Pearly King of Peckham—a proud Londoner who brought joy, tradition, and charity to everyone around him. To us, he was the heart of our family, a dad, granddad, and friend whose spirit and warmth will stay with us forever.
​We know how much he meant to so many of you in the community. We will share details regarding funeral arrangements in due course once everything is finalized.
​Thank you all for your love, support, and memories of George.
​“Once a Pearly, always a Pearly.” 👑❤️
