A HEARTBROKEN community are being encouraged to pay their respects to a colourful “legend” when his cortege passes through a coastal town. Ken Wright, 75, from Walton, died in hospital on New Year’s Eve having inspiringly fought cancer – always with a smile on his face - for more than a year. Well known throughout the town thanks to his jolly demeanour and colourful costumes, the Ipswich Town fan’s death had a saddening effect on many. His death sparked an outpouring of condolences and tributes from those who knew him well and residents on whom he had left a lasting impression.
