The general public has not received anything from the funeral of Ron Brandsteder, because it was completely decided. Do we get something from the farewell of Dieuwertje Blok? “We’re going to see nothing.”
The funeral of a well -known Dutchman is an event where the gossip magazines and showers like to be present. When saying goodbye to artist manager John van Katwijk, there was even a camera crew of Shownieuws at the entrance. There, among others, Rachel Hazes was spotted, arm in arm with her last remaining friend Hans Klok.
Swallow
For Rossdelbobos such as Evert Santegoeds and Guido den Astekker, it was a bit of a swallow that the relatives of Ron Brandsteder had declared the media undesirable in his funeral. They wanted to publish photos of it, but decided to respect the wishes of the family and not send a paparazzi there.
Story’s Guido said about this: “We always do that, hey, if it is decided to do that in a closed circle, then of course we respect that.”
And Dieuwertje?
Will that be different with the upcoming funeral of Dieuwertje Blok? Can media be present? Private boss Evert Santegoeds in the podcast Strictly private: “That funeral will take place in a closed circle, just like two weeks ago with Ron Brandsteder, and most media will respect that request from the deceased and the family.”
“So yes, this was it, Dieuwertje. We are not going to see and get anything from d’r, except that a condolence book has been laid down in Sound and Vision in Hilversum. People can draw that and that has been done a lot. 140 people have signed it on the spot and the register has already been signed 11 thousand times online at the Sinterklaasjournaal. ”
Support
Evert thinks that is a very nice gesture. “All those reactions, sweet, short, and long, from young and old, they will all be shared with the family. That must be a lot of support if they have had that difficult farewell. “
In the past series of the Sinterklaasjournaal, Dieuwertje was replaced by Merel Westrik. Will she be her final successor now? “She did very well, let’s be honest, so it will be clear that she will continue to do so.”
