Family 'overwhelmed' as people line street after ice cream man's sudden death

The family of an ice cream man who died were "overwhelmed" at the turnout for his funeral.

People lined Lodge Lane on Monday to pay their respects to Paul Wilson, otherwise known as "Icey man Paul." The 56-year-old, who worked as an ice cream man around Toxteth for more than 30 years, died suddenly in the early hours of Tuesday, July 19.

The family are awaiting the results of a postmortem to determine the cause of death. A large funeral procession travelled through L8 this week to remember Paul, led by his ice cream van.
