The 73-year-old clinical support worker, who worked at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and was affectionately known as ‘Ma Murphy,’ died on April 16th. Here are some moving pictures from today’s funeral cortege which left from Lime Grove in Mayfield and travelled to the A&E department at the hospital, enabling staff to pay their last respects, before heaing to the crematorium at Mortonhall.
