On Saturday 7 January 2012, a funeral held for Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart was held in Bledoe. (PROSE: Lucy Wilson and the Bledoe Cadets) According to the First Doctor, all his incarnations were in attendance and, while some argued amongst themselves, they were generally on on their best behaviour. (PROSE: The Gift)
In the churchyard, the Bledoe Cadets stood with Alistair's family. (PROSE: Lucy Wilson and the Bledoe Cadets) As the coffin was lowered into the ground, John Benton ordered UNIT soldiers to shoot "five rounds rapid" into the air as he saulted. The Seventh Doctor watched the bullets disappear, while Liz Shaw buried her face in the Third Doctor's cape. Mike Yates exchanged glances with the Second Doctor, while the Sixth Doctor wrapped his arm around Jo Grant, and the Ninth Doctor lowered his head as he sunk his hands into the pockets of his jacket as the Eleventh Doctor watched on.

Kate Stewart and Doris Lethbridge-Stewart greeted every attendee as they entered the community hall afterwards. There, a woman spoke with Conall Lethbridge-Stewart. After seeing her, Bill Bishop turned to Alistair's grave and told him that the Doctor[disputed statement] had made it, and that he'd shout her a brandy. (PROSE: Lucy Wilson and the Bledoe Cadets) From a safe distance, the Brigadier's granddaughter, Lucy Wilson, and her friend, Hobo Kostinen, also attended the funeral, having travelled back in time from 2018. They talked to Dame Anne Bishop. (PROSE: The Brigadier & the Bledoe Cadets) Later, Lucy inadvertantly travelled back to the time and place of her birth, to find the same woman from her grandad's funeral helping her Mum give birth.
