An undertaker with the surname Dyer has declared himself "over the moon" after being honoured as the the UK's Embalmer of the Year.
Bob Dyer carried off the unusual title at the Good Funeral Awards 2014 ceremony in Birmingham earlier this month.
The 65-year-old, who runs an embalming service from his family's funeral parlour in Studley, Warwickshire, qualified in 1983 and puts his success down to extensive experience in his field.
Mr Dyer said: "The more you work, the better you get."
