TAUNTON Deane Crematorium is expected to be packed for the funeral of local radio jazz presenter Tony Soley, from Hemyock, tomorrow (Thursday).

Tony, 79, built up a loyal following with his Sunday evening Jazz Show on Tone FM. He died earlier this month the day after his final show was broadcast.

Tony’s widow, Steph, has requested that no-one wears black to the funeral, which starts at 11am.

Donations in lieu of flowers will be shared between local radio stations Tone FM and Ten Radio, Wiveliscombe, where he was a presenter.
