MR Kenneth Killingbeck, of Laburnum Drive, Oswaldtwistle, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 3, aged 90.

During his working life Ken was a railway fireman and proudly served in the East Lancashire Regiment, B Company and the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment.

Ken sadly leaves behind his dearly loved wife Margaret, his much loved son Michael, his treasured granddaughters Sallyann and Larraine, and also his cherished greatgrandchildren Olivia, Eleanor, Joshua and Isaac.

Ken will be very sadly missed by all his loving family and friends.

A celebration of life service will be held for immediate family and close friends only (due to the current restrictions).
