Final Funeral for Derry Hill Crash Victims Set for Wednesday
The last funeral for the four victims of the Derry Hill collision takes place this week. Jordan Rawlings’ service will be held on Wednesday, 30th September.
The day kicks off with a procession through Calne town centre at around 10am. It will then move to the Tesco supermarket car park. While the funeral service is by invitation only, the procession allows the community to pay their respects.
Community Mourns Amid Covid Restrictions
Inspector James Brain from the 1 Area Community Policing Team said, “This week’s funeral marks the final stage of a very difficult and emotional time for the families of the four victims and the wider community in Calne.”
He added: “The tragic collision has been made more difficult because of the Government’s current Covid restrictions. I want to thank the people of Calne for the respectful yet safe way they have honoured these young men.”
Officials Urge Safety and Social Distancing
Inspector Brain also reminded everyone to follow social distancing and the rule of six if they plan to mark Jordan’s funeral publicly.
Terence Herbert, Chief Executive of Wiltshire Council, said, “This has been a truly heartbreaking time for the Calne community. We thank them for supporting COVID guidelines as they grieve.”
“Our thoughts remain with everyone affected by this terrible tragedy,” he added.
