The funeral of a family of six killed in a motorway crash will be held at the church where they worshipped.

The Statham family died last Monday travelling home to Llandudno from Birmingham on the M6 in Cheshire.

The service for David and Michelle Statham and children Reece, 13, Jay, nine, Mason, 30 months, and Ellouise, 10 weeks, will be on Tuesday, 4 Nov.

It will be at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Llandudno, where Reece and Jay were altar boys.

Prayers are being said at churches for the family, who died in a collision involving three lorries and two cars.

Mr Statham, 38, a chef at St David's College in Llandudno, had been with his 33-year-old wife for 19 years.

They had moved from Birmingham to north Wales four years ago.

  • A Portuguese lorry driver has been charged with six counts of causing death by dangerous driving after the collision, and will appear in court in November.
