Cortege of ice cream vans follow coffin for fitting send off to popular seller

A cortege of ice cream vans sounded their chimes as they followed the coffin of a popular seller as hundreds of mourners gathered to pay their respects at his funeral.

Mac Leask worked on the same pitch for a staggering 46 years, providing generations of customers with ice creams and lollies.

He died aged 82 at Sutton Coldfield’s Good Hope Hospital on April 21 after suffering a stroke while working in his van in Walsall, West Mids.
