Eldritch at John Peel's Funeral?

If you look at this week's NME (cover date Nov 20) there is a double page
spread of the mourners at Peel's funeral - the thin, bleached blonde
gentleman in shades looks a lot like Von!
Bottom right hand page on the left nearest the fold -

Perhaps someone can put a scan up?

I've uploaded a scan to the image bank to see if anyone else agrees.

Hey, QB can you shift this into JOTD?

Sorry Erudite, I don't mean to take the piss, but really?? :eek:

Hmm, I'd third that. If he was there, he was using a very good disguise.

If you look really carefully to the rear of the picture, you can see von stood behind a grssy knoll with a sniper rifle in his hand.

Nobodys mentioned the Half Man Half Biscuit T-shirt he's wearing. :D

He does not look like Eldritch to me either, but the thumbnail of the image [currently] at the Gallery's main page does make it easier to see how someone initially could have thought of him.

Any bets on how long it takes to see that image on a Sisters bootleg? :urff:

Damn, I've been away for two weeks and missed two references to Half Man Half Biscuit. What erudite company.

That guy looks way too healthy to be Von, for one. Von actually looks a bit like Adam Clayton (U2 bassist) on crack...
