Figures from the world of football joined Justin Edinburgh’s family, friends and supporters on Tuesday to remember the late Leyton Orient manager at a memorial service in Chelmsford.

Edinburgh died on June 8 at the age of 49 following a cardiac arrest, just six weeks after leading Orient back into the Football League by winning the National League title.

A private funeral was held following his death, but Tuesday’s service at Chelmsford Cathedral was the first time the public have been invited to pay their respects.

Leyton Orient director of football Ling added: “We hold Justin in the highest regard because he did an absolutely wonderful job for our football club.

“The club will be supporting the foundation in every way it can and Justin will be honoured in the way he should be.”
