Funeral of popular vagrant

Posted by Dan Coombs on Jul 28, 09 08:28 AM in Useful Info

THE funeral of a well-known homeless man took place on Friday bringing traffic to a standstill.

Frederick Todd, who died aged just 59, was a regular sight outside Tesco's in Fairfield Road, Yiewsley, and only had one eye.

He passed away from illness in hospital earlier this month, and his family decided to pull out all the stops for his funeral.

A big procession took place from Royal Lane in Hillingdon, to St Martin's Church, in Church Road, West Drayton, where the funeral took place.

Richard Hawks, a christian aid worker who spent time with Freddie, said: "He was well known and had lots of relatives.

"He ended up on the streets because of his drinking, he was very well known in Yiewsley."
