Coronavirus: Woman 'couldn't say goodbye' at husband's funeral

A woman from Cardiff who could not go to her husband's funeral because of the coronavirus pandemic said she "couldn't hug anybody" after watching his coffin being taken away in a hearse.

Susan Cadogan's husband Peter died from cancer on 3 March, before coronavirus restrictions were imposed, and she said a big funeral service with a "full church" was being planned for him.

But she said plans had to be changed when churches shut to limit the spread of the virus.

Ms Cadogan said: "I couldn't hug anybody, they couldn't hug me. I couldn't go up to the coffin and say goodbye."
