AN EMOTIONAL send-off for Dave, the beloved goldfish, was ruined - when he was eaten by a duck.
Arran Uzoy, of Worksop, wanted to give his pet fish a proper funeral by pouring him out of his bowl into a nearby pond while the Whitney Houston classic "I will always love you" played in the background.
Tragically, the poignant moment was soiled when a duck saw the opportunity for a quick snack.
