'BEST MUM' FOUGHT BATTLE WITH MND

Guard of honour as former police officer Janine is laid to rest

HUNDREDS of mourners paid their last respects to a former police officer and community figure who died after a battle with Motor Neurone Disease.

Janine Turnbull died at home on Monday, August 4, less than a year after she was diagnosed with the devastating condition.

A funeral procession, led by a bagpiper, travelled from Janine’s home in South Wellfield to St Alban’s Church in Earsdon yesterday morning.

Many guests wore yellow, carried yellow flowers, or had sunflowers in their hair.

Janine’s former Northumbria Police colleagues gave a guard of honour as her coffin was brought into the church, the same one where she had married her husband John in 2011. Mourners filled the church and its gallery and even the church hall next door, where the service was live-streamed.
