The funeral details have been announced for a former councillor and Armed Forces veteran from Morecambe following his death earlier this month.
Darren Clifford, a former chairman of Morecambe Town Council and a former cabinet member for Lancaster City Council, passed away in hospital on Tuesday September 16 after a short illness, aged 54.
Darren’s funeral will take place on Friday, November 7 at 10:30am, at Lancaster Cathedral on Balmoral Road. All are welcome to pay their respects.
Military veterans are encouraged to wear their medals, while supporters of Morecambe FC and Liverpool FC are invited to wear club colours, but everyone is encouraged to attend in whatever they feel appropriate.
Details of the wake will be announced in due course.
A British Army medical veteran who served in the Forces for 13 years, he was also armed forces champion during his time on Lancashire County Council.
A Gofundme page has been created by Tony Brankin, veterans project officer from Morecambe Football Club, on behalf of Darren's family.
Tony said: ‘’ We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support, kind words, and generous donations made in Darren’s memory. Your compassion has meant so much to the family.
‘’Thank you again for your continued support, kindness, and generosity during this difficult time.’’
