Dad's emotional farewell to son, 5, who died after being trapped in a well

The dad of a five-year-old boy who died after being trapped at the bottom of a well for nearly a week bid an emotional farewell at his son's funeral.

Hundreds turned out to pay their respects to Rayan Awram who fell into a 105ft shaft outside his home in the Moroccan village of Ighran in the northern province of Chefchaouen last week.

Emergency crews raced against the clock to rescue the child after the accident on Tuesday, however, after he was finally freed on Saturday it was announced he could not be resuscitated.
