YESTERDAY'S edition of The Northern Echo featured a tribute to Barbara Hayward, of Staindrop, near Barnard Castle, County Durham, who has died aged 92.
Mrs Hayward was remembered for her wartime heroics as one of the first Wrens to be allowed to go to sea.
Due to a production error, Mrs Hayward's name was spelled incorrectly, although it had been accurately submitted by Jim McTaggart.
We apologise for the error and any embarrassment caused to Mrs Hayward's family.
Mrs Hayward's funeral service will be held at St Mary's Parish Church, Staindrop, at noon today.
