A bench, with a plaque featuring Acker's iconic bowler hat, his clarinet & "Acker Bilk 1929-2014".
Acker's gravestone, showing his birth name 'Bernard Stanley. Also his wife 'Ginge'.
Acker Bilk's bench, in his native Pensford, Somerset.
And his grave, in nearby Publow churchyard.
And BSkiers of a certain age now have *that* melody, stuck in their heads for the rest of the day.

"In 1961, the tragic explosion of the MV Dara off the coast of Dubai marked one of the worst maritime disasters of the time. Meanwhile, Mr. Acker Bilk’s smooth clarinet tones with 'Stranger on the Shore' were just making waves in the UK charts at No. 30. #MaritimeHistory #MVdara #AckerBilk"
One of the truly great 'Trad' Jazz films of all time!

"Acker" Bilk was an English clarinetist. His tune "Stranger on the Shore" was the UK's biggest selling single of 1962. Born in Pensford. He married his sweetheart, from the same school. He earned the nickname "Acker" from the Somerset slang for mate. He loved cider. #cider #AckerBilk #books
