Llŷr Davies: Hundreds attend funeral of crash victim, 16

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

Llŷr 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 Llŷr 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, Llŷr was described as the "Aberporth man", who loved the area, the sea and the beach.

During the funeral at Aberporth Chapel, tributes were read out on behalf of Llŷr's father, brothers and sisters.

His eldest sister, Bethan, wrote that his continuous, silly opera singing often gave her a headache, but she would miss him forever.

One of his brothers, Cai, added that the past few weeks had been "the toughest" of their lives, adding: "I am so proud to call you my brother". 

"Thank you for being kind, funny and crazy. I will truly miss your loudness," wrote his other sister, Sara.

Llŷr's father, Sead, wrote: "You were a kind and thoughtful boy. You wanted to conquer the world. 

"You loved fishing and had it all planned out to take over my boat. Sleep well son."
