About 1,000 people were expected to attend the visitation for a former mayor of London who died earlier this week.

Tom Gosnell, who served as mayor from 1986 to 1994, passed away on Monday at the age of 63 from cancer.

Visitation is at the Logan Funeral Home on Dundas Street from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday.

A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Metropolitan United Church.

Former police chief and friend of Gosnell, Murray Faulkner will deliver the eulogy.
