A devoted son has flown over 3,000 miles around the UK in a helicopter spreading his mum's ashes - from a peanut butter jar. Andrew Greenhalgh, 73, wanted to take his mother Marie - who passed away aged 95 in November 2019 - to new places on one final journey.
Setting off from his hometown of Great Baddow, Essex, he embarked on an eight-day trip around the UK, just two months after getting his helicopter licence. He flew the Shetland Islands, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man, before flying south to Wales, the Scilly Isles, Cornwall and Jersey, scattering Marie's ashes on the way.
He touched down and scattered his mum's ashes at random spots along the route. He said: "I'm sure my mum would love it, she would think it was great.
