Cyclist Katie Archibald pays touching tribute to partner Rab Wardell at his funeral

The partner of Rab Wardell, Olympic hero Katie Archibald, paid an emotional tribute to the mountain bike rider following his sudden death at the end of last month.

Wardell, just two days after becoming the Scottish Cross Country Champion, fell into a cardiac arrest whilst in bed alongside Archibald. The Olympian desperately tried to resuscitate her partner while the paramedics also did what they could, but unfortunately he tragically passed away.

And on Wednesday, a funeral was held for the 37-year-old at Dunfermline Crematorium - with hundreds gathering for the service.
