MOURNERS who wish to celebrate the life of speed ace Donald Campbell are invited to take part in a service on Coniston Water, which will happen at the same time as his funeral in St Andrew's Church in Coniston on September 12.

Bosses at Coniston Launch are offering a boat free-of-charge, and as well as prayers there will be an opportunity to throw flowers over the site where the record-breaker lost his life.

His daughter, Gina Campbell, hopes anyone who cannot be seated in church will join the trip.
