Ben to have West Ham send off
Chelmsford florists Springfield are now busy making a West Ham crest wreath for Ben’s funeral on the 16th November.
The money will also fund a Champions place stone with Ben’s name on it outside the London Stadium as a permanent memorial to the young man.
The remainder of the fund will be donated to Ben’s family to help with funeral expenses which include a West Ham coffin and bubble machines.
Ben’s sister Sunny posted a message over the weekend to say: “Funeral will be held on 16th of November at 12.30 pm at Harwood Park Crematorium, Datchworth, Stevenage. The family will be dressed casually, in jeans and West Ham shirts. Ben will travel with a beautiful West Ham wreath kindly donated by the West Ham supporters, For this reason, we would ask that people please do not send flowers. We have been blown away by the love and support you have all shown us over the past few weeks”
