Overview

• Hatton’s cortege left the Cheshire Cheese in Gee Cross at 9:45am, reached a private service at Manchester Cathedral at noon, and then proceeded to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium.
• Fans lined a multi-stop route that paused at Harehill Tavern, The New Inn for a dove release, Hatton’s Gym, Hyde Town Hall, Betta Bodies and the AO Arena.
• The service drew prominent figures from sport and entertainment, including Tyson and Tommy Fury, Amir Khan, Frank Bruno, Wayne and Coleen Rooney, Liam Gallagher, Freddie Flintoff and Paddy McGuinness.
• All three of Hatton’s children spoke, with daughter Millie asking, “Why didn’t you reach out?” in a tribute that underscored his long-documented mental-health struggles.
• Greater Manchester Police reiterated there are no suspicious circumstances and no cause has been disclosed, as fundraising campaigns and the Ricky Hatton Foundation highlighted support for Andy’s Man Club and CALM.
