Team Sends Representation to the Funeral of Ellen Higginbottom
Below is an account from Paul Copley who attended the funeral of Ellen Higginbottom on behalf of the team. Ellen was the subject of the search at incident 44/2017 in Orrell Water Park.
Today I attended the funeral of Ellen Higginbottom on behalf of the team. A lovely service was held to celebrate the 18 year old Ellen’s life at Altrincham Crematorium.
I spoke to Ellen’s family after the service, they passed on their heartfelt thanks to the team and especially thanked those who stayed behind longer than they needed to that night.

Team Remembers ex-Team Member Steve Davies
Today team member Bob Hutchinson attended, along with our BM4 LandRover, the funeral of Steve Davies, which was held at Altrincham Crematorium, Dunham Massey.
Steve was an accomplished mountaineer and also spent some winter seasons as a ski instructor in the Alps.
Steve’s sister Karen along with other members of the family were most grateful that the team was represented at the funeral.
Steve’s time in the team was mentioned in the eulogy.
Steve was unfortunately taken at the relatively young age of 58 by a heart attack following a stroke.
He is remembered fondly by those team members and ex members who knew him.
The whole team passes its condolences to Steve’s family and friends.
