Penelope Duggan spoke on behalf of the Fourth International, of which Dave had been a leadership member in the 1980s-90s, and Vinay Ostrolenk aged 13 read a powerful poem he had written about Dave. Tributes were also paid by Judith Arkwright, Ned Kelly and Lawrence Ashefold.
Alan Thornett on behalf of Socialist Resistance made the final contribution which we publish in our features section "Dave Packer: a tribute".
