The chaplain had tried to convince him not to come, he said a funeral was no place for a child, but Dick wouldn’t listen. Madge could stay home and look after their frail baby sister but he had to be there.

His nails dug into his tightly clenched fists as he stared at the coffin. When their mother had died he had understood she was too tired but he couldn’t understand why his father had left them. As the service flowed over him Dick made a promise that whatever happened he at least would always be there for his sisters.

Poor Dick - fancy having to face up to that resposibility so young.

Poor Dick - it must have been very difficult for him at such a tender age.

But he faced up to his responsibilities well, didn't he, with Madge at his side.

Thank you, Sarah, sad but beautiful.

Poor Dick. He was so young to have so much responsibility placed on him.

Thanks Sarah.

I feel sorry for Dick having so much responsibility on his shoulders. He did well at looking after Madge and Joey.

Echoing everyone else's comments - poor dick, imagine he would be glad in later life that he had attended the funeral even though it was so hard at the time.

(((((Dick))))))

Oh poor Dick. Bless.
I always did like Dick - pity he features so little in the series
