Strange but true . . .
A life-long smoker had his dying wish honoured when he had the words "Smoking Killed Me" placed on signs in his hearse.
Albert Whittamore, known as Dick, died last month aged 85 after suffering for years from emphysema, a progressive lung condition he blamed on his habit.
He wanted the ill-effects of his smoking to act as a warning to others and dictated in his will that the signs be placed inside his hearse as it passed through his home town of Dover in Kent.
