THE funeral for sports photographer Steve Wheeler will take place at Oxford Crematorium on Friday, November 3 at 2pm.
The popular 62-year-old, who had taken pictures for the Oxford Mail for more than 30 years, passed away last week at his Eynsham home.
As tribute to his dedication to covering sport in the county, all matches in the Oxford Mail Youth League and Oxford Mail Girls League last weekend – as well as many other clubs – held a minute’s applause in his memory.
A full obituary will appear in tomorrow’s Oxford Mail.
