THERE was a vast turn-out at the funeral of 92-year-old Army veteran John Campbell, who served in the Second World War and died without any surviving relatives today (Thursday).
It was feared that no-one would attend his funeral but after an appeal by the Royal British Legion, around 500 members of the public arrived at Whitley Bay Crematorium in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, to pay their respects this afternoon.
