Market trader Don Hollingworth, who became famous for his ‘three for a pound, your strawberries‘ call to passing customers at Ayres fruit stall, passed away last month at the age of 81.
Today Don’s funeral cortege passed his old stall on its way to a service at Chesterfield Crematorium.
Here stories were shared about Don and there was a further celebration of his life at The Market pub, one of his favourite haunts.
