Woman's last act for 'health freak' boyfriend who got shock diagnosis

A woman visited her boyfriend’s favourite holiday spot to spread his ashes.

Kathy Reilly and her boyfriend, Alan Jones, who lived in Birkenhead together, loved to travel and had ticked off locations such as South East Asia, America and the Caribbean on their bucket list. However, a place the couple were always drawn back to every year was one of Spain’s Canary Islands.

The 58-year-old carer, originally from Fazakerley, told the ECHO : “I’ve been all over the world with Alan. I travelled everywhere with him, we had a good life together.
