Mum’s send-off? We put on a good spread

UK ’copter tour to scatter her ashes.. from peanut butter jar

- DAN WARBURTON

A DEVOTED son has flown more than 3,000 miles around the UK in a helicopter spreading his mum’s ashes from a peanut butter jar. 

Andrew Greenhalgh, 73, wanted to take his mother Marie, who passed away aged 95 in November 2019, to new places on one final journey.

So he embarked on an eight-day trip just two months after getting his helicopter licence.

He flew to the Shetland Islands, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man before flying south to Wales, the Scilly Isles, Cornwall and Jersey, scattering Marie’s ashes at random spots before heading home to Great Barrow in Essex.
