A Lancaster fitness club is paying tribute to its much-loved squash coach ahead of his final farewell.
3-1-5 Health Club on Caton Road is raising funds in memory of Graham 'Snowy' Green and has also created special shirts for its squash teams to honour him.
Snowy's funeral will be held this coming Monday (October 24).
The charismatic squash player and coach, who played for local teams for more than 40 years and was known for his 'Snowy Green Sports' equipment shops in the local area, died suddenly while on holiday in Spain last month.
His family and friends raised more than £6,500 from a Crowdfunding page to bring him home for his funeral.

Snowy set up four squash teams at the 3-1-5 club, a table tennis league, as well as a 'squash school of excellence' for adult and junior players, and also had his own squash equipment and racket restringing shop at the Caton Road facility, all while continuing to play his beloved game himself.
The club is selling badges in Snowy's memory for £3, with all profits going to charities close to his heart (Marie Curie and the British Heart Foundation).
The 3-1-5 squash teams' new shirts, designed by Jake Jackson, include a dedication to Snowy, who was also known as 'The Snowman'.

His funeral will be held at the Lancaster and Morecambe Crematorium at 1.30pm on Monday, followed by a reception at Smokey O'Connor's in Morecambe.
People attending are asked to wear something green.
