- Service in memory of tragic schoolboy
Express & Star
Friends and relatives of Codsall schoolboy James Fallon
will gather on Saturday for a special service in his memory.
The service will be at 11am at Si Nicholas Church in the
village where James's family lived until they emigrated
to South Africa.
James, aged 11, died in March in a Johannesburg hospital
nearly two years after being paralysed when struck by
a speeding car driven by an underage motorist. Top surgeons
in South Africa managed to save his life in a seven-hour
operation.
He was finally allowed home 18 months later, but died
after going into a coma following injections. A fund-raising
appeal for him was supported by a large number of national
celebrities, including former London gangsters Ronnie
and Reggie Kray.
James's grandmother, Mrs Rita Nicholson, of Wilkes Road,
Codsall, said today: "We are anxious that all friends
and relatives and people who helped James in any way should
attend." His parents, Roger and Elaine I Fallon,
will fly in from South Africa for the service.
A request to the Home Office to allow the jailed Kray
twins to attend has been turned down. |
