Final farewell to 'Viking' Ivor

More than 100 mourners including some in costume today gathered to say farewell to popular Viking re-enactor Ivor Wilcox.

Mr Wilcox, known to thousands of pupils by his Viking name Bjarni Eriksson, dedicated his life to making learning and history fun. He died at Russells Hall Hospital, Dudley, earlier this month from kidney cancer, aged 47.
