A Big Send-Off For Colin O’Brien
November 20, 2016
Several hundred turned up for our Celebration of the Life & Work of Colin O’Brien at St James Clerkenwell on Thursday night but, for all of you who were unable to make it, Sebastian Sharples has made this short film to give a flavour of this memorable occasion

Thank you for sharing.
I will watch at a more appropriate time today
as it is early Sunday morning 6.28am.
Wonderful.
Glad he got the great send off party he deserved. Colin will be sorely missed.

Regret I was unable to attend, however this video gives me a real feel of the event. Thank you
Many thanks to you and all the others involved in organising the event. It was absolutely wonderful – you did Colin proud and I’m so glad we had the chance to show our appreciation in a tiny way.
Unable to travel so greatly appreciated the short film.
Thank you for a wonderful evening and for bringing Colin’s photographs to a wider audience.
A lovely evening. Well done to all the organisers. Great to share stories about him in the church crypt afterwards and meet some of his marvellous friends. His memory will live on in his photographs!
Just reading/seeing this now. So lovely ♥
