Player #326446, originally father McCartney. Mckenzie was a name off a grave opposite Eleanor Rigbys. The reason nobody was at her funeral was because she outlived her family.

There was a newspaper article recently about an elderly lady who had died, and had no relatives or friends to attend her funeral. She was called Eleanor Rigby by the press as it took quite a while to find out what her name actually was. On investigating her past it was discovered that she had been a spy during the war. When that was made public so many people wanted to pay their respects that the church couldn't hold everyone. Sometimes in death we make more of an impression than in life.

SOOTI, she as a spy must have been very savvy and discreet in her lifetime to survive. older people each comes with a great story about their lives
