Harold Morgan: A fitting funeral by a feat of Facebook

Harold Morgan had no known next of kin and funeral organisers feared no one would turn up to pay their respects.
But now it looks like there might not be enough room for everyone after the local community pulled together to plan a fitting send-off for Mr Morgan.
