" A GREAT SEND OFF FOR MIKEY DYE "

As you will know Mikeys funeral took place at Thornhill Crematorium this afternoon and there was massive crowd that attended, several hundred were listening to the service from outside.

Natalie and Chrissy Dye showed amazing strength getting up and speaking at the service and tributes were paid by 2 of Mikeys closet friends also, even Mikeys dog, smartie, was at the service.

Malky Mackay and Julian Jenkins represented Cardiff City and at the end of the ceremony Malky had a large grin on his face as Chrissy Dye led everyone inside and out in a chant of Mikey Dyes Barmy Army.

A truly unique service and a fitting send off for Mikey

Difficult day for all, more so for Mikeys wife & son!!!

Sounded like a deserved send off for a true bluebird.

Nice that Malky & Julian went, that would of ment a lot to him!!

RIP Mikey,
Keep flying with us Bluebirds!!

Did Bomber make a speech then Carl ?

A fitting tribute to one of our own. May Mikey rest in peace

I hope some day that the Dye family can find peace & happiness one day, may god bless them.


R.I.P. Bluebird

It was a tremendous send off for a Top Fella, now he can R.I.P.

Yes very emotional day, just come from the Cardiff City Stadium, the numbers at the crematorium inside and out were up to 800 strong, great send of for a true city fan and true friend
When Nathalie brought Mikeys dog Smartie in to the crematorium for the service, that moment brought a tear to my eye.
It was great to see so many faces turning out for Mikey, they came from the Valley's,Cardiff,Neath,Bristol,London etc.

Also well done to Julian and Malky for representing our Club

Very moving. A very proud day.

Nathalie is heartbroken and I hope that she can get stronger and live for a long time yet with happy memories of Mike and also the tributes that were paid to him by so many.

Yes. I'm a soppy so and so, but I thought of this song today:

Thanks for the reply Sam It must have been tough for you today mate.

R.I.P Mikey

dyo is a legend - i fell apart in the car when i left the crem went to ground but was to upset to go in. when i came out of the crem and seen hundreds of lads all with tears in there eyes it hit me hard - just showed how much mikey was respected i have had the great pleasure of knowing him for so many years
and many years travelling with him mikey took me to huddersfield with john jack over 30 years ago i will miss him deeply but he will always been in my heart his life was cut short and it hits home to make more of an effort to your loves ones. good night and god bless you mikey till we meet again ......

Rest in Peace Mikey.

Not much more that hasnt been said above, reading what Mallo put above bought a tear to my eye.
RIP Mikey

It was a great send off for Mike and the "Mikey Dye's Barmy Army" chant at the end was truly a moving experience. RIP fella and love to all your family.

Didn't know Mikey personally but when I arrived at the crem I was not surprised to see so many people after the turn out on Sunday.It was pleasing to see MM and JJ representing the club.You'll never walk alone brought a huge lump to my throat and a tear to my eye,It was nice to see everyone dressed casual as requested.I hope Mikey's family and friends can find some peace,Mikey was obviously a very special person.
