The brother of a ‘Traveller King’ has been buried next to Britain’s biggest headstone after a funeral with a horse-drawn hearse and a Rolls-Royce cortège.
Michael Collins, 51, was carried in a platinum coffin before he was laid to rest next to his brother Willy’s huge 37-ton £200,000 gravestone crafted from solid Carrara marble.
Speaking ahead of the funeral, Michael’s heartbroken daughter, Paris, said: “Dad was a loving family man.
“He lived and died for his wife and children, and he absolutely doted on his little grandbaby. He thought the world of him."
