Former Watford fireman Les Cooper receives guard of honour at funeral

Leslie Cooper passed away peacefully aged 97 on April 3. He faithfully worked to protect the people of Watford for three decades, up until his retirement, and one of the historic fire vehicles that Les, as he was commonly known, used was present as loved ones said their goodbyes at West Herts Crematorium on April 26. A 1930s fire truck ridden by Les was present at his funeral, along with serving firefighters from Garston.
