Friends and family of a 20-year-old man who died following a diving accident have paid tribute to a "brilliant bloke".

Weeley Crematorium was packed yesterday as friends and family remembered Andrew Dunsire, of Station Road, Wrabness.

Andrew died following an accident on Dovercourt seafront near Wick Lane on July 20.

The service heard how Andrew was a lively character who would help anyone. Only weeks before he died, he had gone to assist following a road accident on the A120.

The Rev Eoin Buchannan said those present had gathered to remember Andrew, who was better known as Nuts.
