Public Invited to Wear Bright Colours and Celebrate Life of Former Mayor

Funeral for Dot Pitts to be Held at St George\'s Church at 12pm

Today will see the funeral of former Mayor Dot Pitts take place.

She passed away earlier in the week at the Hospice following a lengthy battle with cancer.

The funeral will be held at St George’s Church at 12 noon, as a last wish Dot said she wants people to attend in bright clothing, and hats for women are a must.

For those who can’t attend but want to pay their last respects the funeral precession will pass by the Douglas town hall at 11.45.
