UK - London - Ronnie Kray's East End funeral

Red carnations and roses form a cortege memorial to notorious 60s gangster twin Ronnie Kray during East End funeral. The words ‘Ron God Bless’ are written in silver lettering in honour of the recently deceased Ronald, commonly referred to as Ron or Ronnie who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. Ronnie and his twin brother Reggie were involved in armed robberies, arson, protection rackets and violent assaults including torture. During the 1950s and 60s. They terrorised their organised crime competitors but were loved by the communities of East London. The Kray gangster twins were eventually jailed separately in 1969 and Ronnie remained in Broadmoor (psychiatric) Hospital until his death on 17 March 1995.
