'It was a beautiful tribute... he would have been so proud of it all'

THE family of a much-loved husband, dad and grandad have expressed thanks to all those who packed a Middlesbrough church for his “beautiful” funeral service.

Hundreds gathered last week to pay their respects to Brian Keogh, known to many as the father of Donna Keogh, who disappeared from Middlesbrough in 1998.

For more than 27 years, Brian fought for answers over the loss of his 17-year-old daughter, who is thought to have been murdered. Brian’s funeral was held on Tuesday, August 19, at Sacred Heart Church on Linthorpe Road where moving tributes were paid to the former serviceman, business owner and “man of values”.

He sadly lost his battle with a lung condition on July 26, shortly after telling his family he had still had work to do in the fight for justice for Donna.
