THE FUNERAL of Bury music man, "Doctor Rock", will be held this Friday.

The service will take place at Bury Parish Church at 12.30pm, followed by committal at Rochdale Crematorium for close family and friends.

Mr Keith Hand (56), of Bury and Bolton Road, died on September 4 at Fairfield Hospital after suffering two cardiac arrests.

An inquest has been opened into Mr Hand's death and adjourned to a later date. A post-mortem has proved inconclusive and tests are continuing.

Mr Hand became known as Dr Rock because of the musical equipment shop he ran in Bury.
