R.I.P. MATHEW LOCK
It
is with much sadness that TUW can announce that much loved friend and
highly talented artist and 'Prisoner' fan Mathew Lock has passed away
after a battle with cancer.
Mathew will be fondly remembered for his wonderful Portmeirion artwork (see his website for examples), his photography, film-making (he made several much-loved 'Prisoner' fan films in the 1980s and 1990s (details HERE)), but most of all for his friendship to many.
It was calculated that he had spent over two years of his life staying in Portmeirion, a place he loved, and it is hoped a memorial to him will be placed at the site in the near future. It is also hoped that a website will be created to display all his wonderful artistic creations.
Mathew's funeral service took place at Bristol South Crematorium on Monday 1st June at 2.00pm, with attendees, at Mathew's request, wearing bright colours and not formal/funeral attire. Mathew was taken to the crematorium accompanied by many fans of 'The Prisoner' and was pulled by a low-loading race trailer, at his request. R.I.P. Mathew.
