Ann Widdecombe's family confirmed on Thursday that a public memorial for her is scheduled for later this year. This follows a private service for close friends and family, which will take place in the coming weeks. The former Conservative minister and Reform UK spokeswoman, 78, was discovered deceased at her Dartmoor residence earlier this month, and Joshua Kerry, 28, faces a murder charge.
