Fond farewell to Derek

Most of you will know that a much-loved villager, Derek Lawrance, died last month. He was 94.

Derek’s funeral will be held today (Tuesday 12th) at the crematorium and sadly, under the current Covid restrictions,  many people who wished to attend will be unable to do so.

However, Derek’s wife, Jean, wanted to let everyone know that he will be making his final journey to the crematorium today (Tuesday), leaving Rainsford Close at approximately 1.20pm. It would be lovely to see as many villagers as possible lining the main street (socially distanced of course), to bid farewell to a lovely, man who was known and loved by so many in the village and beyond.

Jean also wanted to say thank you for all the kindness shown to her and the family in recent weeks.
