Interesting aside about this song which I was surprised by ...
Mum had chosen "You'll Never Walk Alone" for her funeral. Which, with all due respect to Gerry, surprised me as Gerry & The Pacemakers was not her style at all.
So I googled and discovered it was originally from a 1945 Rodgers & Hammerstein musical (which made waaay more sense) called Carousel (which I had barely heard of).
G&TP obviously nailed it with their release which Liverpool has adopted so well.
We used G&TP at the funeral because we couldn't track down a decent recording from the show (without spoken lines being inserted therein).
RIP Gerry.

Away from that role, she was one of the finest stage & Broadway actors of her generations
