Crowds gather in street for popular bar manager after sudden death

Crowds of men, women and children gathered in the street in memory of a popular bar manager who died suddenly.

Birkdale Village came to a standstill on Tuesday as the funeral cortege of 29-year-old Robbie Wilson passed through the area. Dozens of people stood at the side of the road to pay their respects to the bar manager as he made his final journey to Burscough Crematorium.

The cortege passed through the village just after 2pm, with people bowing their heads as Robbie's coffin went by. Floral arrangements included white flowers spelling out "Robbie" with a number of handwritten notes attached to them.
