Hundreds attend funeral of popular Wil

After the tragic death of a popular and highly respected young man – Wil Handford (24) – hundreds of people went along to his funeral.

It took place today at St Peter and St Paul Roman Catholic Church in Barrowford.

Wil had lived in the village for most of his life. His coffin was brought there by a horse-drawn carriage.

Wil had been suffering cancer for 18 months and was given treatment, but sadly died last week.
