The fan who wanted to be laid to rest by Stoomtroopers


Once you're a Star Wars fan, you're one for life, even after death.

In February 2015, Gordon Deacon had his last wishes come true when he had two of his favorite loves combined at his funeral. The man, who hailed from Cardiff, Wales, had his coffin flanked by a group of Stormtroopers while loved ones wore their Liverpool FC shirts in tribute to him.

The Stormtroopers, along with bounty hunter Boba Fett, led the horse-drawn carriage funeral procession to St Margaret's Church. 

Anyone who wanted to wear a Darth Vader outfit, though, was out of luck. Nobody was allowed to wear black at the service.

A Stormtrooper floral wreath was also arranged for the ceremony, along with a Liverpool FC shirt made of flowers.
