The funeral for a much loved South Oxhey man will take place in Watford next Friday.

David Berger, from Heysham Drive in South Oxhey, lost his four year battle with cancer on September 10, and has left hundreds mourners in his wake.

Friends of the life-long Queen's Park Rangers fan and keen fisherman have decided to name a swim – or fishing spot - in Croxley Hall Fishery after him.

Andy Piggott, close friend and fellow fisherman, said: “He was one of the world's greatest blokes, everyone liked him, in the 20 years I knew him nobody had a bad word about him.

The funeral will be held at 2.30pm on October 1, at St Matthew's Church in Watford.
