THE daughter of Mark Bradbury has asked people to come and celebrate her 'funny, generous and charming' dad at his funeral next week.

Beloved family man Mr Bradbury suffered ‘significant’ head injuries after being attacked at his home on Station Road South in Padgate last month.

The 58-year-old's death shocked the community and tributes poured in for him.

Hannah Bradbury, Mark's daughter, said: "My dad, taken from us far too soon, was so loved by so many.

"We are immensely grateful for the kind words and support we have been given in these tragic times.

"We would love as many people as possible to come and celebrate the funny, generous and charming man he was.

"As the life and soul of every party, please come and share your stories and memories of him."

The funeral will take place at Walton Lea Crematorium on Friday, September 27 at 3pm.

This is due to finish at 4.20pm and then will move on to Birchwood Golf Club.
