THE funeral of Hereford murder victim Christian Bagley has taken place this afternoon.

Tributes were paid to the 30-year-old during the service at St Martin's Church in South Wye.

Many of the mourners wore Liverpool football shirts, Christian's favourite team.

Wayne Wood, Christian's brother, adapted a reading from Liverpool's anthem You'll Never Walk Alone, which was played at the end of the service.

Rev Anne Dowdeswell said people are struggling to come to terms with Christian's death but added he would be remembered not just today but in the weeks, months and years ahead.

Christian died on June 21 having been attacked close to the Great Western Way in South Wye.
