Firefighters will form a guard of honour at Stonefall Crematorium in Harrogate today (March 25) for the funeral of a former colleague who died in a skiing accident in Scotland.
Shaun McMurrough served as a firefighter for 30 years and worked as a gardener in the Harrogate area for about 20 years.
He died on February 18 after a fall while skiing at Nevis Range the day before. He was 60.
In recognition of his years of service, a fire appliance will attend today’s service at 1pm and firefighters will show their respect with the guard of honour.
Ryan Cooper, Shaun’s son-in-law, described Shaun as “a respected retired firefighter, known for his dedication to both his profession and the community”.
Shaun grew up in Leeds and joined West Yorkshire Fire Service in 1987. He was based at Moortown and later at Cookridge, where he became a watch manager.
