IT was nice to see that the council provided a car park for mourners, the police provided an escort and The Press gave three pages to the funeral of Mr Lord David Wharton.
However, I was surprised to see no details about him, apart from him being the uncle of a famous boxer, which could justify such a response.
Searching the Wharton surname in the Press archives revealed nothing about him.
Would The Press be able to provide an obituary?
Sam Hunt, St Gregory's Mews, York.
Editor's note: Mr Wharton, a member of a large and well-known York family, died tragically and in circumstances which made news headlines. It is normal in such cases for newspapers to focus more closely on events like funerals than they might otherwise.
