8. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Idle/Actor:
"I am very pleased that Sir Paul McCartney is here today (applause) Because I thought, its not necessarily very well known that he behaved impeccably during George's demise. During the long time George was dying Paul was there which is wonderful and supportive in a way that you would want a friend and a old colleague to be there with you. Its not terribly well known but George died in Paul's house. Which is rather amazing fact and it's one of the reasons I won't go stay with John Cleese."

To me he was a beautiful mystical man living in a material world and he was funny as the day is long and just as perplexing. I think I speak for all of us when I say that as times passes we discover more and more how deeply seated he is on our hearts and our lives. Thank you everyone, George this day is for you."
