A convoy of lorries escorted an HGV driver, who died at the age of 32, to his funeral.

Ryan Bennett, of Bell Farm Lane, Minster, lost his battle with ill health on June 24 after suffering multiple organ failure.

Friends and family followed the father-of-one’s coffin on a route around the Island.

It took in sites that were meaningful to Ryan, including Queenborough Corner, where he used to stop to refuel and have breakfast.

Former school friends and workers at the services stood outside with balloons as the procession passed.

The service was then held at the Garden of England Crematorium, Bobbing.
