Funeral held for Birmingham airport director

Permalink 04:44:44 pm, Categories: Birmingham Airport  

Richard Heard was just yards from his Shropshire home when a tree branch went through his car windscreen on his way to work at Birmingham Airport.

The 49-year-old father-of-two was one of 10 people to die as 80mph (128km/h) winds battered England on 18 January.

A private funeral will be held at St Mary Magdalane church in Bridgnorth.

His family said a memorial service is planned at Symphony Hall in Birmingham on 22 February.

Mr Heard's widow, Kay, has described her husband as her "best friend" who always had time for relatives and friends.

The couple, who have two daughters, 18-year-old Charlotte who is studying physiology at Oxford University, and Ellie, 14, were married for nearly 24 years after meeting as students at Southampton University.
