THIS guy is certainly going out with a bang…

Paul Wilson loved Guy Fawkes Night so much, his widow has had his ashes put inside a firework!

Mr Wilson, 47, who died unexpectedly in May, had joked with his widow, Tina, about the unconventional send-off.

Now Mrs Wilson, 43, of Foxfield Drive, Stanford-le-Hope, has granted his wish.

She said: “Paul always really enjoyed fireworks night. We had a house in Florida and whenever we went to Epcot theme park, his favourite part was the fireworks.

“When he was a kid, he was always blowing things up at home, and when he worked at the Ministry of Defence, he was always blowing things up too, so it’s quite fitting.
