THE funeral of charity fund raiser Jane Tomlinson will be held next Friday.

Mrs Tomlinson, 43, from Rothwell, Leeds, lost her seven-year battle with terminal cancer on Monday. The funeral will be held at the Cathedral Church of St Anne in Leeds.

The mother of three defied doctors, who gave her just months to live in 2000, and raised more than £1.75 million in a series of gruelling endurance events.
