VALE CILLA BLACK
-
Happy to be proved wrong but Paul does not go to funerals. The only one I know he went to was Linda's. He didn't go to his father's funeral. Nor Neil Aspinals. I can't recall ever hearing of Paul going to a funeral or seeing any photos. As to why? I don't know I guess that's a personal thing for him.

He was at Victor Spinetti's memorial.

I noticed Paul's brother was there http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/carol-vorderman-leaves-cilla-blacks-funeral-at-st-marys-news-photo/484577434

Paul is hugely famous. I wonder if he doesn't attend so as not to be a distraction. Out of respect.

Actually, if it's alright to say so I have read that Paul didn't attend his own father's funeral. He was too distraught to face going through that and also didn't want it to become a big circus with Paul the focus. I'm not disparaging him, I didn't go to my father's, either. Maybe he didn't want to distract or take away from Cilla's moment.
I thought he didn't attend his dad's funeral owing to Wings planning/rehearsing/tour commitments. Priorities.
You are correct Robert. Paul's Dad died Mar. 18, 1976, right as Paul was about to start Wings Over America. (actually, he was still in the Europe portion at that time and played Copenhagen Mar. 20th, then several other European cities) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wings_Over_the_World_tour
