A memorial service for murdered Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer will be held in Lahore on Sunday.

The service, which has been organised by the Pakistan Cricket Board, will be held at Sacred Heart Cathedral from 12 noon to 1pm local time.

The memorial service will be open to anyone who wishes to pay their respects to Woolmer.

He was killed on 18 March, the day after Pakistan were beaten by Ireland in the World Cup.

During his playing career he earned 19 Test caps for England before becoming a much-respected coach.

Aside from Pakistan he also coached South Africa and enjoyed great success coaching in English county cricket, winning four trophies in two seasons with Warwickshire.
