A flat cap adorns the coffin of celebrity steeplejack Fred Dibnah being carried through the streets of Bolton. The colourful and eccentric television personality died aged 66 on November 6 after a three-year battle with cancer. Dibnah's coffin will follow his newly-restored steam engine on a Victorian trailer before he is laid to rest at Tonge Cemetery.
