St Anthony’s are also closed both days.
Bourne community college closing early at 11.55

School is closed tomorrow (Wednesday 24th June) and Thursday (25th June). Please see ParentMail sent earlier today for further information.

We are completely overwhelmed by the messages, calls and comments on our social media about Tony.

We hope he realised how much people thought of him 💙

His children Emma & Daniel are reaching out for help whilst they continue on this path without their wonderful Dad & we hope that we can get as much support as possible.

Tony wanted to be buried next to his beloved grandson Archie, Archie sadly passed at a tender 8 years of age. Tony adored his grandchildren and losing Archie was incredibly tough for him.

Red tape & bureaucracy is making the cost significant higher & no life insurance or funeral policies were in place so we are asking for your help on behalf of his children.

Please donate if you are able to, shares will reach lots more people and we would love to help Emma & Daniel achieve their Dads wishes.

Thank you 💙

The Starline team are very saddened by the sudden loss of one of our drivers.

Tony - driver 50, passed away at the weekend very unexpectedly.

Tony’s first private hire badge was issued in Dec 2006, nearly 20 years ago and for all of these years he worked with us.

We cannot even begin to imagine how many passengers he’s transported with us over the years, he has literally driven the length and breadth of the UK too from school transport, airport transfers, local work and even boat parts to Aberdeen.

He loved F1, a highlight of his career was having Murray Walker as a passenger & Sir Stirling Moss on another occasion, Festival of Speed was his favourite with all the cars & drivers. His shifts had to be worked around the F1 fixtures - when Starline supplied transfers for the FIA conference at Goodwood he was in his element with the F1 drivers, past & present, that we carried….

Sleep tight Tony, we will miss you.

Sending love to all your family & friends too 💙

A lovely message in our inbox today 🥰

A huge thank you to one of your drivers who's name is Michael😇 who stopped to help us this morning when we hit a pothole at Stoughton and burst a tyre. He changed the wheel for us as we are elderly and my husband was finding it difficult. Without his help we would probably still be waiting for the AA 😂
