Friends, family and former colleagues will attend a funeral service today for a mum and her two children from Allerton Bywater.

The bodies of Geraldine Newman, 11 year old Shannon and six year old Shane were discovered at their home on Beeston Way earlier this month.

The children's father was later pronounced dead at cliffs in North Wales.

The funeral service is set to take place at Holyhead’s St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, before then moving on to Bangor Crematorium.

Staff from Wilko's Castleford store - which Gerry managed - will travel to Anglesey to be at the service with the firm shutting the shop between 12 and 2 as a mark of respect.
