A widow held a "FUNeral" to celebrate her husband's life - complete with a bouncy castle, his favourite food and 'party bags' for guests to take home.

Katie Young, 40, suddenly lost her husband, Brandon, 39, a shop owner, after he suffered a stroke on May 4 and passed away a few weeks later on May 17.

The couple had three children together - Eleanor, 12, Clyde, 10, and Ingrid, eight - and Katie didn't want them to have "horrible memories" of their dad's send off.

Instead of holding a traditional service and wake, Katie set out to make it a FUNeral - ensuring the day was a celebration of Brandon's life with 500 guests.

She organised bouncy castles, Brandon's favourite food - dips and chips - as well as his artwork and his record collection as party bags for people to take home and remember him.
