Family and friends bade a final farewell to 16-year-old James Smartt-Ford this afternoon.

A horse-drawn carriage led the funeral cortege along Streatham High Road to the United Reformed Church - next to the ice rink where James was shot.

Dozens of people filed into the church for the memorial service.

James, a former pupil at Coombe Boys' School in New Malden, was shot twice as he attended a popular disco at Streatham ice rink on Saturday, February 3.

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