THE funeral of Neil Murray, the husband of South East Cornwall MP Sheryll Murray, is due to take place at Maker Church this afternoon.

Mr Murray, who was 57 years old, died in an accident at sea after leaving Looe on a solo fishing trip on Thursday, March 24.

Six crew members at Looe RNLI who helped search for Mr Murray, including several who knew the fisherman personally, will be the pallbearers.
