THE funeral of Wayne Wilson will be held later this month.

The 26-year-old, of Fullers Avenue, Cricklade, lost his battle with leukaemia on January 3 just two weeks after marrying his childhood sweetheart Sammy Cole, pictured.

Wayne was determined to make his final months special for his two-year-old daughter, Katelyn, by putting together a memory box.

The funeral will be held at Kingsdown Crematorium on January 21 at 2.15pm, followed by a gathering at The Club, in Cricklade.

Wayne’s wish was that everybody should wear bright colours to his funeral. Donations can be made in Wayne’s memory to www.teamwayne.co.uk.
