ST Peter’s Catholic Church had rarely seen a service like it - hundreds seated in its pews and more still lined around its edges to pay their respects to the co-founder of a Gorleston theatrical institution.

It was in the early afternoon of a grey Wednesday that mourners young and old turned out en masse to say farewell to Margaret ‘Mags’ Miller, who died aged 82 and was best known locally for her role in Dusmagrik’s Young People’s Theatre Company.
