Mourners remember gun campaigner

Pat Regan

Family and friends of anti-gun campaigner Pat Regan have held a wake in her memory before her funeral on Friday.

Mrs Regan was found stabbed to death at a property in Marlborough Grange in the Hyde Park area of Leeds on 31 May.

Her grandson Rakeim Regan, 20, has been remanded in custody charged with the 53-year-old's murder.

The wake, at the Vessels to Honour Church on the Burley Hill Trading Estate, continued until midnight.

Mrs Regan's funeral will be held at All Hallows Church in Regent Terrace, Hyde Park, from 1200 BST on Friday.

The mother-of-six started her campaign against gun crime after her son Danny, 25, was shot dead in 2002 in an attack in Merseyside. His killer has never been found.

She had been a high-profile spokeswoman against gun crime and met government officials to discuss how to tackle the problems of guns and gang-related crime.
