Four schools in Middlesbrough are set to close early at lunchtime due to expected traffic disruption from a funeral. The gathering is anticipated to attract a large number of attendees, as the funeral is for a man who died in an incident on the A66.

In a separate event, Iarnród Éireann has issued a warning about significant disruption to train services following a collision between a train and a car on the Mayo line, affecting travel to and from Westport during the morning hours. This incident is unrelated to the funeral in Middlesbrough.
