Widow takes her husband's ashes to a Wetherspoon pub to fulfill her last promise

A widow has taken her husband's ashes to a Wetherspoon pub to fulfill her last promise to him. Irene Henderson, 54, and Adrian Barratt, 62, set themselves the challenge of visiting every Wetherspoon pub in the country. Ade heartbreakingly apologised to Irene for not being able to continue on their quest before he died.

Former railway signaller Ade had already visited 1,000 Wetherspoons across the UK and Irene has now surpassed his total.

Irene told the Daily Star: "Ade apologised just before he died saying he was sorry he wouldn’t be with me to do my 1000th. To cheer him up I said I would take him along and do my final Ade at the bar pic. He laughed even though it was a difficult time. So I kept to my word."
