The Beat Goes On: Deceased Woman's Flash Mob Funeral Ignites the Spirit of Celebration!

Sandie Wood, 65, died from tongue cancer - one of the victim's of the 1980's infected blood scandal. She was one of tens of thousands of people given blood contaminated with hepatitis-C in 1977 - a contributing factor in her death. Described as a 'bit of a rebel' by her friends, former bodybuilder Sandie wanted to go out with a bang after passing away on September 19 last year. She hired Bristol-based dance troupe The Flaming Feathers to flash mob her own funeral. Footage of her funeral shows how, amidst crying family members, the group stood up as music began playing loudly, before removing large jackets hiding their uniforms and dancing at the front of the audience.
