A MEMORIAL service will be held to honour a former York headteacher next month.

Ann McKeown ran Huntington Primary School for more than a decade, and had previously worked at Carr Infants in Acomb.

Her sudden and unexpected death in July led to an outpouring of tributes from former colleagues, pupils and parents around York.

A service of celebration of Mrs McKeown’s life will be held on Sunday, October 16, at the University of York’s Central Hall in Heslington from 3pm.

Places must be booked, but tickets are free and available at eventbrite.co.uk by searching for Ann McKeown.
