There are many other examples, including English humorist Spike Milligan. On Spike's headstone at St Thomas' Church in Winchelsea, East Sussex, England is his full name, Terence Alan Patrick Seán Milligan KBE. Unfortunately, the church would not permit the phrase Spike requested for his headstone namely, 'I told you I was ill'. However, they did allow the sentiment expressed in Gaelic, 'Duirt me leat go raibh me breoite',
