A WEBSITE designer from Clitheroe has fulfilled a promise he made to complete the Great North Run in memory of his father. Phill Horrocks (34), of St James Street, prom

injury, finished the race in just over three hours to the delight of his wife, Nicola, and mother Lesley.
Mr Horrock’s aunt, Susie Pomeroy, also joined in the celebrations having travelled from Devon to Tyneside to watch her nephew. Mrs Horrocks said: “I’m just so proud of him
as he’s never done anything like this before. I’m so pleased.I promised myself that I wouldn’t cry and my sister said the same, but when we finally met up with him, I ran up, took a deep breath and told him his dad was up there watching him.” Mr Horrocks sen. was a retired senior lecturer
for the health faculty at the University of Central Lancashire and is remembered by his family as “a man in the million”. Not only did he help nurse his wife back to health after she had a liver transplant operation in the ’90s, he also studied for and later gained an MA in Community Care and Learning Disability at Keele University.
