The Funeral and Wake of the late Paul Welsh

For several years Elstree Screen Heritage, chaired by Paul Welsh,
has worked closely with Elstree Screen Arts (ESA) Academy
to promote our unique local film and TV heritage.

When I asked Chris Mitchell, Principal Director of ESA, whether
he could field a crew to film Paul’s funeral service and his wake
Chris agreed without hesitation.

On Monday 7th October Adam Spinks, Head of Creative at ESA,
and a small team of students filmed discreetly at All Saints Church,
Borehamwood. Canon Richard Osborn who lead the service had
previously granted permission for filming.

The ESA team also recorded a brief video of tributes from several
of the many guests at the wake held at Elstree Studios.

You’ll now find these two videos on YouTube.
