Hundreds lined the streets as a tractor carried the coffin of a 16-year-old boy through Aberporth on Friday.

Ll欧r Davies died on 12 March following an incident involving a truck at the Gilfach quarry near Efailwen in Pembrokeshire.

More than 300 mourners, including members of his Newcastle Emlyn rugby team, wore bright colours as requested by his family.

A recording of Ll欧r singing Calon Lan was played during the service.

Since his death, a number of tributes have been paid, as well as a vigil being held on his local beach to remember him.

Having grown up in the village, Ll欧r was described as the "Aberporth man", who loved the area, the sea and the beach.
