By Ashby Nub News Reporter 8th Sep 2023
The funeral of former Ashby School student Dylan Lamb will take place at St Helen's Church as his family says his heart was in the town.
Dylan sadly passed away almost two weeks ago after a battle with leukaemia.
He gained nationwide recognition after his friends' fundraising campaign was supported by high-profile personalities such as footballer Jack Grealish and actor Stephen Graham.
Dylan's family and friends had been trying to raise money to send him to the USA for the urgent treatment he needed.
His mum, Kim Veitch, posted details of the funeral on social media.
It will take place on September 21 and she called on people to 'give him the best send off we can'.
