The funeral was due to be held today of one of the victims of the Soho nail bomb attack.

Nicholas Moore's funeral service was due to take place at St John the Baptist Church, Orwell Road, Felixstowe, followed by a private cremation in Ipswich.

Mr Moore, 31, was one of three people who died when the device exploded in the Admiral Duncan pub, in Old Compton Street, central London, on May 1.

They had stopped for a drink at the pub on their way to see the Abba musical, Mamma Mia! at the nearby Prince Edward Theatre.

Also killed was 27-year-old Andrea Dykes, from Colchester, who was four months pregnant.

Her husband Julian, 25, suffered severe burns in the explosion and had to undergo operations to deal with nails lodged in his lungs.

The couple's best man, John Light, 32, a bingo hall manager from Colchester, also died while a fifth friend, Gary Partridge, was seriously injured.

Mr Partridge is currently being treated at Chelmsford's Broomfield Hospital. He is being treated in the hospital's specialist burns and plastic surgery unit.

Sixty five people were injured in the blast which followed two previous nail bombings in the capital.

Mr Dykes, who was one of five people seriously injured - including a man who had to have both legs amputated and another who had one of his legs amputated - is still being treated in University College Hospital, London.

A spokesman today (Friday) said he remained in intensive care where his condition is described as stable.

Engineer David Copeland, 22, of Farnborough, Hampshire, has been charged with three counts of murder and three charges of causing an explosion.

He has been remanded in custody to appear at Bow Street Magistrates' Court on June 7.
