The Grassington man attending his own wake
95-year-old Ray Snape has been a painter, a poet an actor and was even a member of the Household Cavalry.
At the event he celebrated his life and shared some fascinating stories. Ray, along with John Anderson, one of the organisers of the "premature wake" told Jericho Keys about Ray's life and why he'd decided to host his wake while he was still here to enjoy it.
