White horses lead funeral carriage for much-loved chip shop owner Androulla who died aged 47
A WHITE horse-drawn carriage was the centrepiece for the funeral of a much-loved chip shop owner.
The procession had visited Hanley Costa and Longton TK Maxx as a mark of respect before the horse-drawn carriage headed to the Greek Orthodox Church in Longton.
It was the perfect send-off for 47-year-old Androulla Neocleous - known as Drew - who lost her cancer fight last month.
The Sneyd Green mum-of-three had run Yorkshire Fisheries in Cobridge.
An online appeal after her death has raised more than £10,000.
The lavish send-off began with loved-ones conducting a whistle-stop tour of Androulla's favourite spots in Stoke-on-Trent.
