A COUPLE of wild-west loving pensioners were given a fitting send-off after dying together near the setting of the Gunfight at the O.K Corral.

Scores of mourners attending the funeral of Country and Western fans Arthur Wilkinson, 81, and his wife Winifred, 75, dressed as Indians and 19th century American soldiers.


The pair were killed during an annual pilgrimage to Tombstone, Arizona, where they were hit by a pick-up truck as they tried to cross a road.

The couple, known to friends as Mick and Sylvia, were enjoying the Helldorado Days event with friends when they died.


Many of the 350-strong congregation arrived at Preston Crematorium dressed in colourful costumes and a man dressed as Chief Bear, wearing full Indian clothing with a large feather, guided the stream of cars into spaces.
