A local baby who captured the hearts of many Ormskirk folk has sadly died.
The funeral of Jem Mahood - who died on 10 December - was held yesterday afternoon at the West Lancashire Crematorium.
His family - who did so much in his short life to raise awareness of the work by charity DKMS - requested donations for the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital and the Manchester Ronald McDonald House.

September saw a fabulous fundraising and awareness day held by young folk in Burscough, too.
