The funeral will be at Holy Trinity Church in Stourpaine, near
Blandford, close to where the Camilla’s sister Annabelle Elliot
resides.
It is the same place where Prince Charles, Camilla and Princes
William and Harry, attended the service for The Duchess of
Cornwall’s father, Major Bruce Shand who died in 2006.
Mr Shand was in New York for charity auction at Sotheby’s and
slipped and hit his head
on the pavement as he tried to re-enter through a revolving
door. He was in New York City to attend a charity auction.
Camilla’s younger brother, had a daughter Ayesha and was known for
his devotion to protecting the endangered Asian elephant.
His body was escorted home on a private jet by Camilla’s son Tom
Parker Bowles and nephew Ben Elliot after a medical examiner in the
New York ruled his death an accident.
Mr Elliot took to Twitter to express his sadness. Mr Parker-Bowles
commented the death left “a massive, gaping hole that will never be
filled”.
RIP my hero and uncle Mark Shand. We loved him so much. What a
life. Here he is with his great nephew, my son. pic.twitter.com/WBMO8x1M9b
