Town procession and funeral service for former councillor today

THE funeral of one of Newbury's most familiar faces will take place in the town today.
It will give people the chance to pay their last respects to Trevor Brown, a former Liberal Democrat councillor and AWE worker died two weeks ago from a heart attack, aged 90.
A procession will start at Camp Hopson funeral directors in West Street moving down along Northbrook Street.
Mr Brown's son, Chris, the Town Crier at Wimborne, will then stop on the bridge to give a Town Crier's announcement, while the British Legion will show their respect at the war memorial.
The funeral service will then take place at St Nicolas’ Church at 2.30pm before the burial at Shaw Cemetery at 3.30pm.
Mr Brown was both a Berkshire county councillor and a West Berkshire district councillor and represented the Greenham ward for 15 years.
He was also a member of the Greenham Alliance, the Thames Valley police authority, the Greenham Common Liaison committee and the Berkshire panel on young people and alcohol, as well as president of the Green Liberal Democrats and a local management representative for the Anchor Housing Association.
He stood down from his council duties in May 1989, after being diagnosed with epilepsy in 1988 left him unable to drive.
