Live pensioner in funeral shock
Friends and colleagues of a retired bus driver turned out for what they thought was his funeral only to see him later walking around town.
Former workmates of Frank Hughes, 80, turned out for the service in Darlington, County Durham.
But they were stunned to later see Mr Hughes walking down the street and embraced the shocked pensioner.
A notice in the local paper announcing the death of another 80-year-old Frank Hughes caused the confusion.
When a friend rang Mr Hughes's old coach firm Abbotts, of Leeming, North Yorkshire, to query the address given in the notice, he was told that as far as the company knew it was the right one.
"I had seen the notice in the paper myself and eventually I started to twig what was happening," Mr Hughes said.
Mr Hughes said he was now getting used to people coming up to him in the street and congratulating him on being alive.
