Funeral for man who “restored Dome Cinema’s splendour”

A FUNERAL reception to commemorate a carpenter who helped restore the splendour of Worthing’s Dome Cinema, was appropriately held in the 100-year-old building itself.

The Dome was a place dear to the heart of Eric Edwards, who died aged 81 at his home in Crown Road, Shoreham, on March 1. And at the reception on March 16, all present went up into the turret to see Eric’s handiwork.

Eric, who was the main carpenter who worked on the tower restoration in 1995, was very proud of his role in the project, his last, for he retired after its completion.
