The funeral of a 16-year-old boy gunned down at Streatham Ice Rink is to be held today.

James Smartt-Ford James will be laid to rest at the United Reformed Church in Streatham High Road at noon.

Family and friends will gather at the church to say a final farewell to the schoolboy.

James was shot twice near the entrance of the packed ice rink on Saturday, February 3. He managed to stagger inside before collapsing on the ice.

He was taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting but was pronounced dead.

Nine people - including seven youths - have been arrested and bailed in connection with the shooting.

Earlier this month James' family joined police at the ice rink to reiterate appeals for information.
