Do you remember David Elliot?

Do you remember David Elliot?

We received an unusual message via the Scene Magazine FB page the other day, from Harry Wright

Harry writes:

“I have come into possession of some ashes of a man called David Elliot who lived in Brighton (possibly in Montpelier Street). He moved from Brighton in 2006 to live in Goa, and he died there in 2008. My Sister nursed him in his final moments and dealt with his cremation. She arranged a ceremony for him in Goa, and when she next returned to the UK she bought his ashes back to the UK for one of his family members, but by the time she made the journey all of his family had decided that they had “moved on”.

I found his ashes in my Mother´s house this morning. Someone had put the poor soul in a wardrobe and I was devastated.

I feel its my duty to get the ashes to his Queer family, and wonder whether you can help me in anyway to locate somebody who loved him?

My Sister has uncovered some photographs. We know that David was originally from Scotland, and lived in London before moving to Brighton”

If you can help Harry please get in touch with us here at Scene magazine in the first instance, via info@gscene.com
