The funeral cortege, complete with Royal Mail vans, makes its way to the service at St Stephen's Church, Steeton
COLLEAGUES turned out in force to give a popular former postman a fitting send off.
Four Royal Mail vans joined the cortege as it made its way to the funeral service. And the posties carried Clive Brocklesby’s coffin into the packed St Stephen’s Church, Steeton.
Among them was Mr Brocklesby’s son, David, a serving postman himself, who wore his father’s original work coat and his name badge.
Clive, who died, aged 75, at Oxenhope hospice Manorlands after a battle against cancer, had worked as a postman in Keighley for four decades until retiring 10 years ago.
