Perfect send-off for a faithful Forest fanatic

The new Forest-themed hearse was ideal for Glenis, said her family

Glenis's funeral was the first in which the NFFC hearse - the only football-themed one in the city - was used

A LIFELONG Nottingham Forest fan was given a sendoff “she would have absolutely loved” as she was taken to her funeral in a Reds-themed hearse.

Glenis Anne Rose, from Ilkeston, who was 75 when she died, regularly attended matches at the City Ground with her sons until ill-health prevented it.

After her death, Glenis's family began thinking of ways to give her a proper sendoff that would pay tribute to her lifelong dedication to the Reds.
