Funeral tributes to much-loved journalist Shirley Tart, who gave so much to others

St Andrew’s Church in Shifnal was packed as friends and colleagues heard tributes to Shirley, who worked for the Midland News Association – publishers of the Shropshire Star – for more than 60 years. Those speaking at the service included Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, Anna Turner, the vice chair of Hope House Children’s Hospice, Barbara Evans, and Shropshire Star editor Martin Wright.
