Lots of familiar faces yesterday to celebrate the wonderful life of a truly remarkable gentleman. A man who lived life to the full and gave his time and knowledge to so many, myself included. Christopher Day you are missed by all who had the privilege of knowing you a true legend of UK Farming and Lincolnshire #chatcjd the #captain
