Family and friends plan to meet at the shops on Broadstone Way, in Holme Wood, at 11.15am and walk behind his coffin to the church.

Anthony's mother has asked anyone coming to the funeral to wear something red.

The teenager was a former pupil of Tong High School and Oastlers School, and had recently moved to Cornwall.

He was on holiday with no travel insurance, forcing family and friends to raise more than £12,000 to fly his body back to the UK.
