The funeral of a father-of-two from Leeds who tragically died whilst trying to break up a fight on a holiday to Canada took place yesterday.

Stuart Firth, of Garfouth, was on a yearly fishing tried in Peterborough, Ontario when he was fatally beaten by four men on August 16.

Firth suffered a fractured skull and died later in hospital.  A 39-yearold man was charged by police over the assault.

The funeral service was held at St. Mary’s Chapel in Garforth.

Mr Firth is survived by his wife Anne, 36 and two children Amelia and William, 11 and eight years old.

A friend of Firth, Tim Bowers, who was also on the annual fishing trip escaped serious injury in the brawl.

Mrs Firth believes that her husband was acting as a Good Samaritan and that he died due to the fact he was breaking up a fight.
