Overview

• Today’s cortege begins at 9:45 a.m. at the Cheshire Cheese in Gee Cross, pauses at Harehill Tavern and The New Inn for a dove release, and stops at Hatton’s Gym before reaching Manchester Cathedral for a private noon service.
• After the service, the procession continues to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, giving supporters a final chance to pay respects along the route past Hyde Town Hall, Betta Bodies Gym and the AO Arena.
• Greater Manchester Police have said Hatton, 46, was found dead at his Hyde home in mid-September and that the death is not being treated as suspicious.
• His family said he had been in a good place and preparing for a December professional return in Dubai, with reports naming Eisa Al Dah as the scheduled opponent.
• Tributes highlight Hatton’s status as a two-weight world champion and his mental health advocacy, with supporters backing charities such as Andy’s Man Club and CALM and a new Ricky Hatton Foundation.
