The procession will take another left moving to the west on the Albert Lake Drive down to the area of the Dental Unit where a procession on foot of members of the family, uniformed organizations and the RAPF Community Band will then process to the St. Mary’s Anglican Church where the funeral service will be held.
At the conclusion of the funeral service the funeral procession will proceed to the burial site in Shoal Bay for interment.

Members of the motoring public are encouraged to be courteous when approaching the cortege from Rey’s Funeral Home to the St. Mary’s Anglican Church between the hours of 11:15 am and 1:00 pm and the procession from the St. Mary’s Anglican Church to the Shoal Bay Cemetery between the hour of 2:30pm and 3:30pm.
At the grave side the final honours will be a combination of the firing of volleys by a firing party consisting of members of the Royal Anguilla Police Force and the blowing of the Last Post by a single bugler.
Additionally the family of the Mr. Lake will be conducting a private drive through the island passing and stopping briefly at the various locations that Mr. Lake would have visited on a daily basis on Friday 1st December, 2017.
