Funeral details have been announced for Andrew Jenkins.

A poignant farewell to the long-serving former Carlisle United chairman and owner will be held on Thursday, July 25.

The funeral cortege will visit Brunton Park and the Pioneer Foodservice headquarters in Carlisle - two major parts of Mr Jenkins' life.

United supporters are invited to visit the stadium to pay their respects on the day.

"Fans wanting to pay their respects are encouraged to come to the west side of Brunton Park (due to ongoing building work) around 11am as we expect the funeral cortege to be doing a lap of the stadium around 11.15am," United announced.

"The cortege will then make its way to Pioneer Foods at Rosehill Estate before going to Wetheral Parish Church for the service at 12pm.

"The club will be closed all day as a mark of respect on Thursday 25 July to allow staff to attend the funeral, including the ticket office, admin offices and Blues Store."

United have also confirmed that a tribute to Mr Jenkins will be paid before the club's first home game of the new League Two season against Barrow on Saturday, August 17.

The legendary Blues director and Pioneer chairman, who served United for 64 years and was latterly chairman emeritus, died last week aged 87.
