THE funeral has been held of a woman who died in a skydiving accident.
Mourners attended South Shields Crematorium earlier today (Wednesday, September 21) to bid a final farewell to Pamela Gower.
The 49-year-old, from Hebburn on South Tyneside, died on September 10 after a jump from 15,000ft went tragically wrong.
She landed on a parked car in Shotton Colliery, near Peterlee, County Durham, and died as a result of her injuries.
