Island to bid farewell to Sir Norman

Fri, 22 Oct 2010

The funeral of Sir Norman Wisdom takes place in Douglas this afternoon.

The comedy legend died aged ninety-five at Abbotswood Nursing Home earlier this month.

A cortege will travel from Summerhill to St George's Church this lunchtime, with the service starting from 2.00pm.

It's expected there'll be crowds lining the route of the cortege.

After the funeral service, a book of condolence will be opened in Sir Norman's Bar in the Sefton Hotel.
