THE funeral of a teenager who died after falling through an auction mart roof will be held this lunchtime.

Kyle Hull, from Darlington, died after the fall at Darlington Auction Mart, in the town's Clifton Road, earlier this month.

Hundreds of family and friends are expected to attend his funeral service, at St Cuthbert's Church, in Darlington town centre, at 12.30pm.

The 15-year-old's death was followed three days later by the death of family friend Tyrone Singh, in a car crash on the A66.

An article in the print edition of The Northern Echo this morning gave an incorrect start time for the service. To be clear, it will take place at 12.30pm and not the stated time in today's newspaper. We apologise for the error and any confusion caused.
