Hundreds of mourners lined the street today for the funeral of a young Liverpool fan who died on Christmas Day.
Cason Hallwood died suddenly just hours after celebrating the holiday at home with his family.
The 12-year-old had asthma and allergies, and is believed to have died from an anaphylactic shock.
His death has devastated his family and community who all turned out to show their support on the day of his funeral.
According to Cheshire Live, Cason's send off started when he was taken from his home in Winsford, Cheshire by a white horse-drawn carriage.
From there, he was taken back to Fowles Funeral Services and then through the town centre before his final journey to the crematorium.
After the service, the family went to Cason's tree to lay flowers.
Cason's school friends and people known to the family clapped as the horse and carriage passed them in the street.
Cason leaves behind his mum, Louise, and three brothers - twins Cowen and Corley, 18, and Caiden, 13.
According to his family, Cason collapsed on Christmas Day hours after complaining of being short of breath.
His mum, Louise, rushed Cason to Wharton Recreation Park and gave her son, who had asthma and a nut allergy, a shot from his epinephrine auto-injector to try and revive him but when this failed she rang for an ambulance.
The Winsford Academy pupil was rushed to Leighton Hospital in Crewe but sadly died a short time later.
Tributes have been pouring in since the youngster's death and his heartbroken family have been inundated with support.
And family friend, Sam Decruz, set up a Go Fund Me page to help raise money for the funeral, with more than £15,000 of donations made.
Sam described Cason as 'a handsome whirlwind'. He said: "No day was ever the same as the next with him.
"He was the light of his family's life, everybody adored him."
Cason’s brother Corley, 18, said a song had been written in tribute to Cason by their grandad Albie Hallwood, 60.
It's called Missing You and was inspired by the Pink Floyd song Wish You Were Here. Both Cason and his grandad were Floyd fans.
The song is sung by Cason's uncle, Dan Barry.
Corley said: "The support for Cason has been unreal. It’s made me feel a lot better.
"Cason was loving, funny, you didn’t have to know him for five minutes and you’d already like him."
People across the city posted heartbreaking messages to Cason following his death.
