Fleet of Royal Mail vans join funeral procession to honour beloved postie
A beloved postman who worked for Royal Mail for 24 years before his death was given a fitting send off as a fleet of red vans joined his funeral.
Colleagues drove 26 mail vans on Lee Woolley’s old postal route before his funeral in Bramcote, Notts.
The 48-year-old, who was due to become a father to a baby girl this December, died of cancer on July 2.
The much-loved postie’s funeral was held on Thursday (1/8), and his pals followed his hearse around his route in Ilkeston, Derbys., one final time.
Posties wearing their distinctive red uniforms lined up in formation outside the Bramcote Crematorium to form a guard of honour for Lee's coffin.
