derryquo How do you know for sure that this information was leaked? Journalists do have a habit of ringing people up and asking them questions. Is it not possible that a Mirror journo phoned these two ladies and asked them if they were going. And when they said yes, they thought, bingo. We have a story because of course his current wife would be there too. I'm not saying I'm correct about this but you sound so certain that there is only one single way this story was put together. And I'm saying that there isn't. I don't, I am speculating, and articulating my annoyance. Leaked story comes out, based on the three wives, people are told it's private, whilst thankfully a rock star send off was being planned, they always wanted the press at it, what better way to get them there.

I can't see Rick's sons agreeing with the things said here and for all we know this is what Rick wanted "Band arriving in the tour bus etc". OK they posed for a photo, but I don't think it was all part of a grand promotion plan after all the press cut out Richie from the pics I saw.
The leak could have come from anywhere and TBH the fact that his 3 wifes attended was correct for their children. If there was a ex wife who never had children with him there I could understand it but at the end of the day Rick JR and Harry would needed their mothers there even if it was just to support them. I have been to many funerals where the ex wifes attended even those who were very estranged they went because of the children.

Agree with all you said, but this wasn't about getting off the tour bus, it was how they used the 3 wives to get or, which ultimately I think was more about keeping this pathetic band in the limelight

Somehow knew Rhino/Rossi would get slated for Smiling/Grinning.....Total Agree Disrepectful Depends on the context. When my Brother In Law was being buried a woman from the undertakers walked round the grave to get some earth to throw in. She tripped on the lowering ropes. My other Brother In Law started to grin and nearly laugh he said "I thought she was going in then". I looked at him and said stop it your making me laugh, we both stopped but we found it funny and we knew that Gary would have loved it. We don't know what they were smiling about for all we know someone was making a face at them.

These are silly "allegations"...none of us know the facts and I don't know why we need to cloud that because of somebody's personal vendetta against Rossi and Quo management.
The 3 wives thing started in the Mirror just after Christmas. Since then we have heard about the "battle" and today we are hearing of Rick's attack on Francis. The Mirror have a source somewhere.
As this latest article could seriously damage Francis and the band I doubt any of this could have come from Quo management for publicity....seriously?

But then again was it all Stage Managed with Porter calling the shots at the Photo Call..? No problem with the posed photo...seen it many times before at celeb funerals. Along the lines of..."the press are just going to hound you for a smudge anyway. Give them a couple of shots and they might leave you alone a bit".

Haven't wanted to comment on any part of Ricks funeral , but totally agree about Rhinos dress code , 100% disrespect for Rick and his loved ones . Looks like he just couldn't be bothered ,as if it was a chore . As for smug faces , I think we all do that at funerals 'its a way of brightening up what is a somber day' .

Some people deal with nerves and very difficult situations by smiling as a coping mechanism. It doesn't mean they don't care.
Its too easy to take smiles for pics out of context.
The problem with Rhino though is that by looking scruffy and attempting to smile he was giving out all the wrong signals, even though inwardly he probably was feeling very different.

The public, I am afraid, doesn't subscribe to the Derry View, and those who are interested in Quo in this sort of Celebrity way, will go on being interested just in the names. Sorry! And the papers all have people who watch lists of happenings everywhere and will tip them off. And also, I believe that any local cemetary (where a lot of the cremetoriums are) are open to the public anyway, so despite the "private" tag, there would have been press there anyway.
