Funeral details announced for Nottingham attacks victim Barnaby Webber

Funeral details have been announced for one of the victims of the Nottingham attacks. Barnaby Webber, 19, was one of three killed during a spate of violence in the city on June 13.

Barnaby, a student at the University of Nottingham, was killed alongside 19-year-old Grace O'Malley-Kumar, also a University of Nottingham student. Ian Coates, a 65-year-old school caretaker, was killed later on in the early hours of the morning.

Barnaby's family now say "everyone" is welcome to attend his funeral on Friday (July 14), from 11.30am. It will take place in his home of Taunton at the town's minster, Somerset Live reports.

A spokesperson for Barnaby's family said: "The funeral of Barnaby Webber will take place at Taunton Minster on Friday 14th July at 11.30am. His family welcome everyone from Taunton and beyond who wish to pay tribute to this wonderful young man.

"However, there will be limited space in the church with priority given to family, close friends, and the Taunton School and Nottingham University community. Provision is being made for screens and audio outside of the venue.

"A private cremation will take place following this service where the family ask for only invited guests to attend. Please respect their privacy at this time.

"Barnaby was a Taunton boy through and through, and his family take great comfort in the care and support they have received from his home town and beyond."
