Final wish of a grandfather who wanted specific wording on gravestone was refused

  • 5 years ago
Killjoy town hall chiefs have refused the final wish of a grandfather who wanted to have the words "the little bugger did his best" on his gravestone.

Before Maurice Brown, 87, died of cancer in August, he wrote a joke poem which he stuck on the kitchen wall for his relatives to find following his death.

The ditty read: "When I am laid to rest, with a tombstone upon my chest, the six words I'd like to see are the little bugger did his best."
