Hundreds of people turned out to attend the funeral of a well-liked Scots homeless man in his local town square. Good Samaritans raised thousands of pounds to give George Murray a fitting send off in Northampton.
George, 51, lived on the streets of the town for 15 years after moving south from Ayrshire. He passed away on September 21 and well-wishers from the Northampton community clubbed together to raise over £6,000 to pay for the service.
On Sunday morning, more than 400 people gathered to pay their respects to George at the open-air service in Market Square. His cortege was led by a lone bagpiper, a touching tribute to George's Scottish roots, and the funeral featured readings, songs, poems and stories of his life.
