The funeral of Jay Slater, a 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, who died while on holiday in Tenerife, was attended by around 500 people in Accrington.

Slater, who fell to his death in a mountainous area on 17 June, was found a month later in a ravine.

Attendees at the service were asked to wear blue, and his family requested donations to LBT Global instead of floral tributes.

Jay was remembered as a 'loving son' and 'cherished brother' by his family.
