Rob Burrow, the legendary Leeds Rhinos and England rugby player, passed away on June 2 at the age of 41 after a courageous battle with motor neurone disease (MND). Hundreds gathered at Leeds Civic Hall to pay tribute to his life and legacy during a funeral reception.

On July 7, as the cortege made its way to a private service, the streets were lined with supporters in Leeds Rhinos shirts, honoring Burrow. His wife Lindsey, their three children, and his family accompanied him. In a heartfelt gesture, the hearse stopped at Featherstone Lions’ ground, where Burrow first played junior rugby.

Lindsey Burrow paid tribute to her husband, saying he “made the world a better place.” Burrow’s final message encouraged everyone to “not waste a moment” of their lives, reminding us that “in a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream.”
