The “devastated” family of Gerry Marsden said an emotional farewell to the entertainer as they held his funeral close to his beloved River Mersey in Liverpool.
Marsden, whose band Gerry and the Pacemakers were behind hits including You’ll Never Walk Alone, Ferry Cross The Mersey, I’ll Be There, How Do You Do It? and I Like It, died in hospital on January 3, aged 78.
Sir Kenny Dalglish, who was Liverpool’s manager at the time of the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989 when 96 football fans died, was among a group of 30 family and close friends permitted at the private church ceremony due to Covid-19 restrictions.
