The funeral of Spring Hill Councillor, Pam Barton, took place on Thursday 14th May 2015 at St James' Church in Accrington. The church was full to capacity with friends, family and colleagues who attended the service to celebrate the life rather than mourn the death, as Pam had wished.
There were tributes from County Councillor Clare Pritchard, a poem reading by Luke Reilly and a very emotional send off from Graham Jones MP, a close friend to Pam and her husband Richard for many years. The cortege then set off to Accrington Crematorium for a final blessing.
