There has been a change to the date of the funeral of a popular former mayor.

Steve Worrall will now be laid to rest at noon on Monday, October 21 at The Garden of England Crematorium in Bobbing.

The 95-year-old, who died on September 17, spent decades representing Sheerness on Swale council.

Ahead of his funeral, the cortege will take him through Sheerness High Street from around 11.15am and onto Blue Town High Street for those wishing to pay their respects.

The service was originally meant to take place on October 7.
