Two friends of George Osborne were the only guests expecting to attend his funeral on Thursday.
They handed an album found in the 96-year-old's home to an undertaker, who realised Mr Osborne had led a colourful life which also included a spell as head waiter on the Queen Mary.
Hundreds are now expected at the service in Southampton.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

That's a wonderful story ending indeed!
