Rob Burrow funeral plans confirmed as public invited to line street for his final journey

Rob Burrow's funeral program has just been confirmed.
The funeral will take place on Leeds Rhinos' annual day of celebration for their legendary halfback. The club, as well as the Burrow family, have confirmed plans for his funeral after he passed away earlier this month at the age of 41.
A private funeral will be held on Sunday, July 7th, in a poignant tribute to his remarkable rugby league career, where he wore the number seven jersey with distinction. This date, the seventh day of the seventh month, mirrors his iconic jersey number.
The service, limited to invited guests, will take place at Pontefract Crematorium. However, the public can pay their respects along the route of his final journey, which has been made public.
A statement reads: "The cortege will travel along the A656 (Park Road), passing the Xscape leisure complex on the right as it heads towards the M62 junction. The cars will continue along the A639 towards Pontefract, passing Pontefract Racecourse before turning onto Park Lane (B6134) near Pontefract Tanshelf train station.
"The cortege will follow Ackton Lane into Ackton, then turn left onto Sewerbridge Lane and Common Side Lane (B6133) heading towards Featherstone. At the War Horse sculpture, the cars will turn left, slowing for a moment at Featherstone Lions ARLFC’s ground on Wakefield Road (A645).
"The cortege will slow again as it passes through Featherstone, near where Rob played his junior rugby. The cars will continue along Pontefract Lane towards the crematorium. We ask members of the public to leave this part of the journey so the Burrow family can have a few moments to themselves before arriving at the crematorium for the service."
In addition, Leeds City Council and the Lord Mayor of Leeds will host an invite-only civic reception in Rob's honour on Friday, July 12th, at 11 am. This event will be live-streamed, with links to be published nearer the time.
Burrow tragically passed away after battling Motor Neurone Disease for over four years, leaving behind his wife, Lindsey, and his three children, Macy, Maya, and Jackson. His inspiring story and his sad passing have touched the hearts of the nation and beyond.
we send our deepest condolences to Robs family and we request you to give them prayers.
