Family honour Derbyshire dad’s dumper-truck funeral final request
  • 6 days ago
A Derbyshire ex-miner who told his family to 'just stick him in a dumper truck' after he died, has his final request come true.
Dave Newton, 81, from Whitwell, started joking that he wanted to have his coffin carried by the vehicle when he started pre-planning his funeral around 12-years-ago.
