New details have been released for Ann Widdecombe’s funeral, with the church where the service will be held issuing a statement.
A requiem mass will be held for the former Tory minister, who became a Reform UK spokeswoman, at Buckfast Abbey in Devon tomorrow.
Ms Widdecombe regularly worshiped in the Abbey Church.
The private requiem mass will include a homily from the Rt Rev David Charlesworth, Abbot of Buckfast.
A statement from the abbey said Ms Widdecombe would be “missed and fondly remembered” and “many in our worshipping community knew her as a kind and warm character”.
The statement read: “Ann was a woman of profound faith, a faith which found expression in the public forum of politics.
“Ann was unafraid to express her unwavering convictions, formed through her Roman Catholic faith. She had a sharp intellect and was a dedicated public servant.”
A public memorial will be held for the former politician later this year.
