Say Farewell to a true Wallsend legend – George Atkinson

The funeral of George Atkinson, a much-loved former Wallsend Harrier, is on Monday 18th July at the Crematorium on West Road in Newcastle at 3.00pm.
No particular dress code, just whatever you are comfortable in.

From his son Colin:

“You will quickly find out during the service that this is not going to be a day of commiserating but an uplifting day to celebrate everything about my Dad.
Afterwards we are going to the British Legion Club in Forest Hall from 4.15pm to have drinks and toast the main man.
We appreciate that not all of you may be able to attend due to work commitments, holidays etc but you are more than welcome simply to pop in for a drink whenever suits.”
