"Reg Presley&amp;#039;s funeral service was held in Basingstoke today (February 14). Slade&amp;#039;s Noddy Holder and Bruce Welsh of The Shadows were among around 200 people who attended the ceremony.  The Troggs frontman died aged 71 in his home town of Andover earlier this month. The band&amp;#039;s classic song &amp;#039;Wild Thing&amp;#039; and Sting&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Fields of Gold&amp;#039; were played at the service at Basingstoke Crematorium. Civil celebrant Lesley Nash held the service, and described Presley as an &amp;quot;extraordinary man who enriched the lives of all who knew him&amp;quot;.  She added: &amp;quot;He was a brilliant and very supportive and loving dad to Jason and Karen who taught them you can do anything you put your mind to.&amp;quot; Presley&amp;#039;s grandson Guy read a poem titled &amp;#039;Empty Chair&amp;#039; during the service, with his family asking for donations to The Stroke Association and the Countess of Brecknock Hospice Trust.
