FRIENDS and family of one of the North-East victims of the Manchester terror attack have paid their last respects.
The funeral of 19-year-old Courtney Boyle was held at Saltwell Crematorium, not far her home in Low Fell, Gateshead.
Courtney, a university student, who attended Lord Lawson of Beamish School, in Birtley, was one of 22 people killed by a suicide bomber at the Ariana Grande concert on May 22.
She died alongside her mother’s partner, Philip Tron.
After the funeral, loved ones celebrated Courtney’s life at the Thomas Wilson Club on Chowdene Bank in Low Fell.
Funerals for Chloe Rutherford, 17, and Liam Curry, 19, from South Shields, who also died in the blast, are being held at St Hilda’s Church in South Shields on Thursday.
