A MEMORIAL service for Blackburn-born TV star Russell Harty was being planned in Blackburn.

An official service was set to take place in the Yorkshire town of Giggleswick, Harty's adopted home, but those wishing to pay their respects were planning a service in Blackburn Cathedral, or at St Hilda's Church, where the Harty family had worshipped.
