An appeal to raise money to help pay for the funeral of legendary Bristol character Stoney Garnett has been inundated with donations. The fundraiser has set out to gather £5,000 and is already approaching £3,000 after just a week of collecting money.
Stoney, who was a South Bristol comedian, master of ceremonies, raconteur, charity fundraiser, postman, film extra and would-be politician, passed away on July 24, with tributes coming from across the city to the popular, larger-than-life character.
Now, City fans and friends want to help his family give Stoney the send off he deserves, and are raising funds for his funeral. Fundraiser Darren Harding said his family and friends were stunned by the high cost of a funeral.
