The funeral plans have been announced for Taunton's Barnaby Webber, who died in the Nottingham attacks last month.

A spokesperson for the 19 year old's family said: "The funeral of Barnaby Webber will take place at Taunton Minster on Friday 14th July at 1130am.

"His family welcome everyone from Taunton and beyond who wish to pay tribute to this wonderful young man.

"However, there will be limited space in the church with priority given to family, close friends, and the Taunton School and Nottingham University community.

"Provision is being made for screens and audio outside of the venue.

"Barnaby’s family take great strength from all the support they have been receiving and say all who want to remember him are welcome.

"A private cremation will take place following this service where the family ask for only invited guests to attend. Please respect their privacy at this time.

"Barnaby was a Taunton boy through and through, and his family take great comfort in the care and support they have received from his home town and beyond."

Last month, Barnaby's parents have paid tribute to their son saying he "was a beautiful human being and a lovely soul".
