Jim's Memorial in London

[Craig Crane]

Whilst going through all my old Muppet stuff, I came across this 12x8 glossy pic taken at the very emotional memorial service held for Jim Henson a fortnight after his passing.

Puppeteers are, from Left to right

Karen prell, Sue Dacre, Marcus Clarke, Dave Goelz, Dave Barclay, Frank Oz, Steve Whitmire and Richard Hunt.

others were there, such as Rob Tygner, Geoff Felix and Mike Quinn to name a couple...

Posting this because I don't think many of you would have seen this sort of stuff.

Nice photo, Craig - thanks for sharing!

The only other photo I've seen from the London memorial was on Muppet Wiki - it was a photographed page of The Guardian, and it's really hard to make out the details on it.

Thanks for sharing Craig. Looks like it was a lovely service for Jim.

It's nice to see other Muppets who weren't at the New York service, including The Count and Flo Bear.

A very touching, sweet, dark-toned picture.

Was the Henson Memorial Service in London similar to the one in New York?

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

It was similar but not identical. The cast of performers present was somewhat different, and there were some different musical numbers and speeches, but the format's pretty much the same.

I noticed Steve wasn't wearing his green suit at this service like he did in NYC.
