John Canning (alias VofD) RIP: funeral arrangements
« on: July 12, 2021, 04:44:15 PM »

For those who may be interested in attending John's funeral, here are the official arrangements:

His funeral will take place on Thursday, 15th July at St. Vincent's Church, Altrincham at 12:15pm followed by interment at Dunham Lawn Cemetery at 2:00pm.

Then at the Best Western Cresta Court Hotel, for tea and fellowship.

All welcome who knew John.

No flowers please. Family would be grateful for donations to Cancer Research.



Meanwhile, here's a splendid image of the great man taking the irresistible opportunity to throw wet sponges at his old sparring partner Graham Heathcote during a fundraising event at the J Davidson Stadium a decade ago:
