Sister's final tribute to tragic swimmer as Haydn Griffiths laid to rest

The sister of Haydn Griffiths, who went missing after going swimming paid tribute to her brother as he was laid to rest.

The 23-year-old was last seen in the water near Derby Pool, in New Brighton, at around 10.30pm on Tuesday, July 19. It's thought Haydn, from Lowton, was attempting to swim out to the wind turbines when he disappeared in the water and didn't resurface.

A huge search was launched by the Coastguard and lifeboat volunteers along with police and the fire service, but was called off at around 5pm on Wednesday, July 20 after 18 hours. Police found a body at the Pier Head, Liverpool, on Sunday, July 24, which was later confirmed to be Haydn.
