The family of a much-loved bar manager have shared their appreciation for those who lined the streets ahead of his funeral yesterday,
Robbie Wilson was laid to rest at West Lancashire Cemetery and Crematorium yesterday after his sudden death last month. The Southport man was known for working in and managing a range of bars and restaurants across Birkdale and Southport, with one bar paying a heartfelt tribute to him after his death.
He was described as a "beautiful soul" who had a "contagious laugh", according to his former employer Cafe Bar N'Ista. Ahead of the funeral, Robbie's cortege passed through Birkdale Village, with people lining the road to pay their respects.
