A SPECIAL coach service is being put on for those who wish to pay tribute to a former Plymouth Argyle youth player whose life was tragically cut short.
His step-mother Nicola Shawcross has said the funeral of 17-year-old Alex Peguero Sosa will be held on Wednesday at St Edmund church in Fore Street, Kingsbridge, beginning at 11.30am.
She hopes those who loved and knew Alex will take up Citybus's generous offer of two coaches from Bretonside bus station to the funeral.
Anyone who wishes to board the bus must do so before its leaving time of 10.30am.
It is expected to be in the London-bound bay and Nicola said it will be signposted.
A wake will be held after the funeral at the Crab Shell in Kingsbridge and the intention is that the coaches will leave afterwards, although this will be discussed with passengers en route to the funeral.
