Birzebbuga has lost one of its most favourite sons, an exemplary father and grandfather, an icon to our young people, and a much loved and most popular treasurer of St Peter's Band Club.
Birzebbuga bid farewell to Carmelo Attard (Karmnu l-Ghawdxi), on June 4. Hundreds of mourners turned up for the funeral to give him homage.
The St Peter's Band accompanied the funeral playing funeral marches, together with band players of the Birzebbuga Philharmonic Society.
Apart from family members, the mayor and councillors, committee members of both local band clubs led the congregation in paying their respects.
His last project was the complete embellishment of the bar area of the club, which will surely be a lasting reminder of him.
