Hockley: Henry Hall, a beloved local boy, passed away after a long battle with brain cancer. His community is rallying to celebrate his life in a vibrant way.
Henry’s funeral is set for January 24, and his parents want everyone to join in the celebration. They’re inviting folks to wear their brightest outfits as a tribute.
A special carriage pulled by white “unicorns” will take Henry to Pitsea Crematorium. It’s a heartfelt way to honor a boy who brought so much joy to those around him.
Corrina Hayzelden, who leads a local knitting group, is busy making bunting for the occasion. She wants the family to feel the love and support from everyone in Hockley.
Many people have followed Henry’s journey and feel a connection to him, even if they didn’t know him personally. It’s amazing how a community can come together like this.
On the day of the funeral, Corrina and her walking group plan to line the route with rainbows. They want to make it a colorful and uplifting send-off.
Other local groups are also getting involved, creating displays that reflect Henry’s love for Disney princesses and bright colors. It’s all about celebrating his spirit.
Henry was a student at Glebe Primary School and was known for his infectious smile. His cortege will start at Main Road, Hawkwell, and travel through Hockley.
Everyone is encouraged to decorate their homes and businesses along the route. It’s a beautiful way to show support for Henry’s family and keep his memory alive.
