My favorite fantasy writer, and the greatest knight of our time, Sir Terry Pratchett, has been laid to rest:

For the unfamiliar, I put this up every Christmas, but probably won't this next time, as it'll make me all weepy:

(Coincidentally, Death there, was the last role of my favorite actor Ian Richardson just before he died as well.)

Apparently, this is what Terry wanted played at his funeral:

Half tempted to weave it into the forums for the next few days and have it play in the background as a memorial...

I-I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now... :oldcry:

Re: Terry Pratchett, meets the Anthropomorphic Personificati

I've nearly broken down a few times today, especially with all of the appropriate quotes of his floating around.

The final tweets on his account:

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.
Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.

Not a good day, but at least he went peacefully.
