The traction engine which will pull the gentleman's coffin
A 1904 traction engine will take a Hereford resident on his final journey this afternoon.
The Ransomes, Sims and Jeffries steam engine called Lady Diana is owned by the Prout family and was brought to Hereford on a trailer.
The engine will then be driven to Holmer Parish Church and a man's coffin will be carried on a trailer on the back to be taken to Hereford crematorium at around 1.30pm. Sally Williams who is part of the family who owns the engine said it had been the man's wish.
Police were in attendance to help with traffic management.
The Prout family run Welland Steam Rally which takes place from July 27 to 29.
