TWENTY mourners met outside Henley town hall on Tuesday to watch the funeral procession of a community stalwart.
Mary Aldred, of Luker Avenue, passed away at home on March 11, aged 90. The mother-of-two had lived locally for most of her life. She was part of a pressure group which successfully lobbied for the new Henley leisure centre, off Gillotts Lane, in the late Seventies.
