A PRIVATE family funeral has taken place for Ipswich MP Jamie Cann.

The funeral yesterday was for close family only but the town he served as their MP for almost ten years will have the opportunity to celebrate his life and pay their respects at a memorial service being held at St Mary Le Tower Church on October 31 at 12.30pm.

It will be an occasion filled with civic dignitaries and those whose lives he touched not only during his years as the town's Labour MP but throughout his time as leader of the borough council and as a school teacher.
