The Noble Cause Framing Theory

[Caroline]

Sorry Caroline for not keeping up but who told Jeremy in 2013 about the rings.

I don't know, Jansus copied the explanation from the OS Susan.

[Jane]

Basically it was harmless fun Susan made more so when people looked shocked/embarrassed. We were part of an arty/lovey set and ALL my male friends, gay and straight, took the opportunity when circumstances allowed.........................then we grew up

[Caroline]

I do remember reading a statement from AE where she is asking about pieces from Granny Bamber's jewellery but I'd have to look for it.

  ,I liked that one April.

As executor of the will, all assets were under his authority. The rings can be seen as assets and it 'could' be argued that that's all Basil was doing.

If that were here, it would have taken jeremy´s consent - had Jeremy signed over to Cook (heh, think I called him something naughty!) that he had the authority to make all decisions and even go agains an expressed wish of the next of kin - without even informing him?
This is really a legal question. Did Cook have the right to go against Jeremy´s expressed wish in this matter?

april you sounded as if you had a blast pity you all had to grow up I use to wear a huge floppy hat with large flowers on it loved it to bits

I'm probably getting muddled up with that, Caroline, but Ann asking specifically for Aunt June's engagement ring rings a bell.

Alias, over here I believe it's entirely down to the executor's discretion as to who gets what.

April I remember reading that AE asked Jeremy if she could have June's engagement ring and he said NO have read it on this forum that is for sure.

I think the above link is an answer to a complaint Jeremy made to the BBC about a programme which was shown quite a while back, I am sure it was in the original letter or transcript of the programme where there is mention of Jeremy driving the tractor wearing a fairy dress or something like that.  Mike knows he should be able to tell is unless someone tells us first.  ?

Thanks maggie. It says this:

The programme?s commentary explained that Mr Bamber started to do farm work on his parents? farm in “full new romantic clubbinggear”.The programme then featured the former secretary of Mr Bamber?s father, Ms Barbara Wilson, saying (over
reconstructed footage of a person dressed in new romantic? costume driving atractor) that:

“I did see him at odd times dressed in various apparel and also make - up. I think this was to shock people and it was done to annoy Mr and Mrs Bamber, which it did”.

But at that point in time, wasn´t Jeremy the sole heir? And it wasn´t quite about who should get what, but the wish of Jeremy that his family be buried WITH their jewellery.

Maggie/Alias don't see any harm in Jeremy dressing up just fooling around to shock his parents as he knew they would be horrified.  Just a prank of a young lad.

It´s been seen before, hasn´t it!

Alias one of my favourite singers Boy George does not drive a tractor but does other daft stuff

8h ok Alias not exactly full fairy outfit but that's maybe how I imag7ned him being dressed  :D He was young!!! I agree ..... so what if he did but sounds a little unlikely to me
