The Wild West send-off for husband and wife killed in historic American outlaw town
For a Wild West-loving couple who died near the setting of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, it was a fitting tribute.
Scores of mourners attending the funeral of Country and Western fans Arthur Wilkinson, 81, and his wife Winifred, 75, dressed as Indians and 19th century American soldiers.
The pair were killed during an annual pilgrimage to Tombstone, Arizona, where they were hit by a pick-up truck as they tried to cross a road.

Speaking after the funeral, the Rev Michael Dolan, said: 'I have done hundreds of funerals but have never seen anything to match this.
'Although the circumstances were quite tragic it really was a celebration of a good life well lived.'
