Hundreds of people lined the streets to pay their final respects to a popular scrap metal collector known as a 'true legend' in his village.

Michael 'Flash' Meakin was well-known in Nantwich, Cheshire, pushing his handcart around as he collected up scrap metal for recycling.

More than 500 people turned out to witness the 80-year-old's funeral procession on Saturday, according to Nantwich funeral director Gavin Palin.

Many hundreds lined the route and also walked behind his coffin. His small handcart - which he trawled around the streets to put scrap metal on - was pushed in front of a hearse.

‘I Think You Should Leave’ Season 3 Trailer: Tim Robinson & His Crew Return With More Absurdity On May 30

There really isn’t an easy way to describe the humor of Netflix’s hit sketch comedy series, “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.” The humor ranges from absurd to silly to absolutely ludicrous. The situations typically start as mundane, but they quickly escalate to something completely out of left field.

Kate Middleton stole spotlight from King Charles with royal visit: report

DailyMail revealed.“It’s a shame that his visit with [Queen Camilla] received less coverage than it might have expected to,” they disclosed to the publication. “I hope they are not too disappointed.”Camilla, 75, and Charles, 74, attended the sweet-scented botany bash as Middleton made a surprise stopover on Monday.The sources also noted that the high amount of press coverage given to Middleton may find Charles to feel “eclipsed” by his daughter-in-law.Charles had previously felt that others stole the limelight from him, especially when he was married to the late Princess Diana.The pair were married from 1981 until 1996, with Lady Di’s face often being splashed across the front pages.Andrew Morton, author of the 1992 biography “Diana: Her True Story,” explained to Insider last year how Diana was usually “the star of the show.”The writer added that Diana “never minded the personal difficulties” she had with Charles behind closed doors.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Lala Kent on Being Right About the #Scandoval: ‘That’s Why I Feel So Vindicated’

Louis Staples It was an earthquake that broke the pop-cultural Richter scale: the revelation that “Vanderpump Rules”stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss were having a secret seven-month affair behind the backs of their closest friends. But there was one of their co-stars who didn’t find the news of the affair quite so shocking: Lala Kent. Kent was the first cast member to suspect that Sandoval was cheating on Ariana Madix, his girlfriend of nine years. Madix found out herself when she discovered an explicit video on Sandoval’s phone, and, as Variety detailed in a May 17 interview with “Vanderpump Rules” executive producer Alex Baskin, by the time TMZ broke the story on March 3, Bravo’s cameras were already at the Valley Village home she and Sandoval share to capture the fallout. Those astonishing scenes aired during last week’s season finale.

Inside Another Fabulous Cannes Party: Dancing David Zaslav, Leonardo DiCaprio and Scarlett Johansson

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer The upper deck at France’s Hotel Du-Cap-Eden-Roc offers a stunning coastal view of nearby city Cannes, the kind that Jay Gatsby would covet to peep Daisy Buchanan. On Tuesday, at one of the hottest parties at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, that view belonged to Graydon Carter. Standing alone with a female companion, the creator of the digital publication Air Mail and iconic former editor of Vanity Fair observed not a long-lost love but a cliffside full of movie stars, auteur directors and Hollywood power players. Carter’s Air Mail co-hosted an evening celebrating the 100-year anniversary of Warner Bros. Pictures, the latter represented by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and his top content lieutenants. Leonardo DiCaprio, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese, Lily-Rose Depp, Sam Levinson, Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Rebel Wilson and more turned up to toast cinema and each other.
