Mrs Polhill’s other daughter and granddaughter, friends, neighbours and members of the Co-op team witnessed the drone scattering the ashes over and around Mr and Mrs Charnley’s garden, which was chosen because Mrs Polhill “loved” it.

Mrs Polhill had been a drummer for the Wessex Military Band since her 70s and one of her closest friends from the band attended the event in the family’s garden. “They were all there at the crematorium and came in their red uniforms and played during the service,” Mrs Charnley said. She had an agent who was looking for older people,” Mrs Charnley said.
