Here’s the touching moment when an ice cream vendor was sent a heartfelt farewell by his coworkers at his funeral.
Video footage shows a procession of Mr Whippys and others playing their musical chimes as they drive along behind a funeral cortege.
This clip was captured on Camberwell’s south London commute to Camberwell Cemetery.
Louisa Davies was waken by the sounds of icecream music.
The funeral procession included a hearse that carried the corpse of the victim, as well as several brightly-colored vans featuring classic tracks such “The Band Played On” and “The Mister Softee Jingle”.
The slow procession followed the family and casket in respect to their fallen ice-cream server.
Louisa Davies recorded the moment that a driver of an ice cream van paid respects to his fallen coworker by playing old songs during his funeral in south London.
Louisa posted the video on social media, writing: ‘Just witnessed an ice cream man’s funeral and all the ice cream vans came and followed in solidarity I AM SOBBING’
Louisa did not speak for the driver but she said that the tribute moved her.
She said, “I had never seen anything similar before and was immediately shocked but it turned out to be the most touching send-off I’ve ever received.”
“I want to express my condolences to the family, and to let them know how much this procession has brought joy to so many today.
