It is with great sadness that we share the devastating news of the passing of one of our beloved regulars, Ray Ashburner.

Ray was so much more than a customer to us, he was our friend. A devoted father, grandfather, friend to many, and a truly wonderful person, Ray was a valued part of The Blackburne Arms family. His warmth, kindness, and presence will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

For those wishing to pay their respects, Ray's family have kindly shared the funeral arrangements. The family will leave Ray’s house at 12:50pm to arrive approximately at Warrington Crematorium for 1:20pm, followed by a wake at The Blackburne Arms.

We invite everyone who knew and loved Ray to join us in raising a glass to our dear friend and giving him the send-off he so richly deserves.

You will be greatly missed, Ray.

With love from everyone at The Blackburne Arms 👼

Our condolences to Ray's family and friends during this difficult time❤️
