'ah look at all the lonely people' 

Miss Eleanor Rigby passed away, on her own, in the church. No-one would have found her if it wasn't for Father McKenzie. She was very old and very lonely. She had once lived a happy life but then as she grew older and her friends disapeared. She never married and never had any children. As she grew older people wouldn't even accnolige that she was there as if she were invisible.

She was buried in the small church yard. With her name written on a gravestone, in a scruffy font, who would look at it anyway? Nobody came to her funeral, only Father McKenzie,  she had no family or friends, most of them had passed away. 

Father McKenzie wipes the dirt from his wrinkly old hands and sighs, as he strides slowely from the grave where old Miss Eleanor Rigby lies, at least now she isn't alone any more, now she is in heaven with the other lonely angels. Father McKenzie mutters to himself "another lonely person, like me" but he is too late for her now, she has gone. 

Rest in Peace Miss Eleanor Rigby.
