Resting at Manchester Cathedral at midday for the funeral memorial service, the cortege departed at 9.45am from the Cheshire Cheese pub on Stockton Road in Hyde, where the Town Hall lowered their flag to half-mast in tribute to a man who put their community on the map, then travelled to Harehill Tavern, before doves were released at another pub, The New Inn, which used to be owned by his parents. The procession would eventually end at Etihad Stadium, home of Hatton’s beloved Manchester City.
