Due to the current restrictions, a family funeral service will take place at John's graveside at Birtley Cemetery on Thursday 25th June at 09:30am.

John's family have asked if possible, out of respect could his friends line the streets of Washington Village on the morning of the funeral. A time will be published at a later date of when John's cortege will pass. 

All enquiries to Walker and Morrell Funeral Directors. Tel: 0191 4164160.
