Terry Griffiths: Snooker star’s Llanelli funeral draws greats
Snooker legends Dennis Taylor, Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams were among more than 200 mourners at the funeral of former world champion Terry Griffiths.
The Welshman, who grew up in Pontarddulais, Swansea, died aged 77 after what his family said was “a long battle with dementia”.
A former postman and bus conductor, Griffiths turned professional in 1978 and became world champion at the first attempt, beating Taylor in 1979.
Griffiths’ son, Wayne, shared personal stories and fond memories of his “modest and humble” father during the funeral service at Llanelli Crematorium, in Carmarthenshire.
