A widowed army veteran who owns more than a hundred pigeons says the birds are the "only thing keeping him going" following the death of his wife.
Geoff Blackhall, 75, from Ellesmere Port, has been keeping pigeons for more than 65 years and is a member of the homing society based at The Royal British Legion Club in Little Sutton. Geoff credits his hobby with filling the void left by his wife who died after contracting coronavirus last year.
Despite a pigeon club having been based at the site for almost five decades, earlier this year, Geoff was notified that he would have to start paying £100 a month to use the Little Sutton club's facilities.
