RELATIVES and schoolfriends wept as they said goodbye to 15-year-old Connor Aston.
There were many tears as the teen’s coffin was brought into Skelmanthorpe church.
More than 200 people packed into St Aidan’s Church to pay their respects to Connor.
The Shelley College pupil died on June 8 after experimenting with drugs.
Six of his schoolfriends wearing purple ribbons carried his coffin into the Radcliffe Street church yesterday at 11am.
A bouquet in the shape of a football sat on top of the blue and white casket, which included the crest of Huddersfield Town.
The service began with the hymn I Danced In The Morning before the Rev Philip Reynolds invited Connor’s friends to share their memories of him.
They described the 15-year-old as “an amazing friend” and “irreplaceable”. One of the boys read the poem Funeral Blues by W H Auden.
The Rev Reynolds then paidtribute to Connor and described his death as “absolutely horrible”.
Champagne Supernova by Oasis was played to the hundreds of silent mourners before Mr Reynolds read a short section of Psalm 16.
The congregation then sang Morning Has Broken before the coffin was carried out of the church by Connor’s friends to the sound of Live Forever by Oasis.
Mourners then gathered outside and released balloons with the legend “Cona Fifa 11 King”.
