The cortege of Bristol Bus Boycott leader Roy Hackett will make a poignant detour to pass the city’s bus station on route to his funeral, it has been announced.
The streets of St Werburghs, St Pauls and the city centre will come to a standstill on the morning of the funeral, as the 93-year-old makes his final journey through the streets of his community.
The family of Mr Hackett, who was a pioneer of Britain’s civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s, and a community leader in Bristol over eight decades, have revealed the route and timings for people who wish to line the streets and pay their respects.
