A football coach at the funeral of one of his 13-year-old players described the event as 'so sad' as Samuel Akwasi was laid to rest. Hundreds of mourners turned out to say goodbye to the "respectful and talented" teenager who died while playing football. Samuel died in May during a match at the Forest Recreation Ground.
Everton Richards, Samuel's coach at FC Cavaliers, attended the proceedings. "I am very sad and disappointed," he said.
"It is not the first African funeral that I have attended. It was a big turnout - more than 300 people attended."
