A devoted daughter hopes to honour her late father by including tractors in his funeral procession.

Mollie Webb of Retford is appealing to tractor owners around Bassetlaw, to follow her father as he makes his final journey from his home in Barnby Moor to Babworth Crematorium.

David Webb of Barnby Moor died on September 10, aged 74, after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March this year.

Mollie, 27, explained: "Dad always had a great love of vintage tractors and would work on them to bring them back to life.

"He had eight in his yard, including two model A John Deere tractors, two Massey Fergusons, and an antique JCB tractor.

"He took them on as projects and had joined in the tractor run around Retford several times.

"He actually sold one of his tractors once then bought it back because he missed it."

Although a funeral date has yet to be set, Mollie would like to hear from anyone willing to join the procession, and can be contacted by email at [email protected]

She added: "I know Dad would have absolutely loved this. He could turn his hand to anything, and had many different jobs over the years, from farming to having a bar in Spain. My mum always joked that she never called in a tradesman because there's nothing my dad couldn't do.

"He was a quiet man but he had so many friends."

Mollie and family are also keen to highlight pancreatic cancer, with Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month coming up in November.

She said: "Dad had very few symptoms - really just some indigestion and a bit of acid reflux. This cancer isn't talked about enough. We thought he had a stomach ulcer but a CT scan at Bassetlaw revealed he had pancreatic cancer and he was told straight away. It's been a heartbreaking experience."

Family, including Mollie and partner Miles, her mum, Mandy, and brother and sister Callum and Jasmine stuck together to help her father through his final months. He leaves six grandchildren.

"Dad was a strong man who rarely went to the doctor's, and many men ignore symptoms or dismiss them. It's crucial that they get checked if they notice anything different," added Mollie.

"I never thought I would lose my dad at this age. Checks are so important."
