Some of the biggest names in Manchester’s music scene were amongst those in attendance at the funeral of Happy Mondays ’ guitarist Paul Ryder today.
Ryder, 58, died on July 15 just hours before the band was due to play the Kubix Festival in Sunderland. Following the announcement of his death, Paul, nicknamed Horse, was described as a ‘true pioneer and legend’ by his family.
The brother of the bass player, band frontman Shaun Ryder, could be seen wearing sunglasses before helping to carry the coffin into St Charles Church in Swinton during the ceremony earlier today (August 4).
