A number of his former colleagues have asked me to report the death of John Jarvie, a long-serving BBC engineer.

A long career in the BBC started with a spell at Norwich and took him on to become Head of Studio Capital Projects – involving him in the creation of a number of new local radio station buildings - and later engineering general manager at TV Centre.

John's funeral will held at the Seafield Crematorium (Seafield Road, Edinburgh EH6 7LD,
on November 16th at 2 pm and afterwards at the Leith branch of the Scottish Malt Whisky Society.

'Folk are asking about flowers / donations. Our preference would be a donation to the wonderful Edington Hospital, which looked after Dad so well in his final hours. The link to the site can be found through this link - http://www.edingtonfriends.org/donate.html'
