Gareth’s father, Richard Thorton went to visit the grave last year to mark the anniversary of his mother, Ellen’s death but longs to have her name marked on the grave.

The Rushton/Towers family had a property on Thornton Road, in Morecambe, now the police station, and used to run landaus along the promenade.
