Road closures will be put in place in Cardiff for the funeral of two teenage boys. Cardiff council has announced road closures in parts of Ely on Thursday, July 6 as thousands are anticipated to attend the joint funeral of Kyrees Sullivan and Harvey Evans.
As the funeral will be held at the Church of Resurrection on Grand Avenue in Ely at 1pm, the roads in the surrounding area will be closed from midday to 2pm. Ty Coch Road from the roundabout with Archer Road and Grand Avenue from its junction with Howell Road will be closed. These initial closures may be extended, depending on the scale of the event.
The friends of the two young boys who tragically lost their lives in a bike crash in May have organised two limousines, four hearses and eight Rolls Royce cars along with between 200 and 400 motorbikes for the procession. Schools in the area will be closing at the time of the funeral due to the high amount of people and traffic expected to attend.
