THE funeral of Northallerton's official historian, Mick Riordan, will take place on Wednesday at All Saints' Church at 1pm.
Mr Riordan died at his home in the town earlier this week after a long illness. He was 69 and had been installed as an honorary citizen only a month ago.
The vicar of Northallerton, Canon Ian Fox, will conduct the service. It is requested there should be family flowers only. Donations can be made to the League of Friends at the Friarage Hospital.
