"More than 400 people attended a service held yesterday for Last Of The Summer Wine actress Kathy Staff. The 80-year-old, best known for playing Nora Batty in the sitcom, died last week after a short illness. Reverend Alison Cox told mourners at St Mark&amp;#039;s Church in Dukinfield that Staff was a good woman, saying: &amp;quot;She was cheerful, generous and supportive. I can&amp;#039;t imagine life without her.&amp;quot; Also speaking at the service was friend and former Coronation Street actor Roy Barraclough, who said: &amp;quot;The general public had a huge affection for Kathy.&amp;quot; Co-star Peter Sallis last week claimed that the actress will be &amp;quot;terribly missed&amp;quot;.
