FRIENDS of Atherton man Phil Baker, who died in June from cancer, will be walking around the Rivington area on Saturday to raise funds for Christie Hospital.

Phil, aged 51, moved to Atherton from Swinton in 1976 and worked at the Royal Ordnance Factory in Patricroft then moved to their site in Chorley which eventually became part of BAE Systems.

Keen cyclist and keep fit enthusiast Phil belonged to various gyms and took part in many charity rides before his death in June.
