The venue for the funeral is now Strathmore House, 10 Stockton Road, TS25 1TY. The funeral service starts at 12 noon on 21st July.

Please note this not a huge venue and the family have said they might have to prioritise family and closest friends but they will also squeeze as many in standing as they can.

After the service friends are invited to join the family at Hartlepool Rovers Football Club, West View Road, HARTLEPOOL, TS24 0BP.
