Woman arranges flash mob dance to 'Another One Bites The Dust' for own funeral

A woman who passed away arranged a flash mob at her own funeral, with a dance to Queen's 'Another One Bites The Dust'. Sandie Wood, 65, was one of the victim's of the 1980s infected blood scandal and died from tongue cancer.

She was one of tens of thousands of people given blood contaminated with hepatitis-C in 1977 - a contributing factor in her death. Described as a 'bit of a rebel' by her friends, former bodybuilder Sandie wanted to go out with a bang after passing away on September 19 last year.

She hired Bristol-based dance troupe The Flaming Feathers to flash mob her own funeral. Amidst crying family members, the group stood up as music began playing loudly, before removing large jackets hiding their uniforms and dancing at the front of the audience.
