The lives of 6 year old Lucas Walker and his mum Julie have been celebrated at their funeral in Aberdeen today.

The tragedy at Aberdeen beach last month shocked the city and the country.

37 year old Julie and Lucas, who was just 6, died after getting swept into the water.

Lucas' 13 year old brother Samuel was hospitalised after jumping in to try and save them.

The family say Julie was a kind and loving mother who'd have done anything for her children - and they've called Lucas a lively and energetic little boy who was inquisitive by nature.

They've also thanked everyone who tried to help that day - and they say they take comfort in the countless messages of support.

The funeral for Julie and her young son has being held at the city's crematorium.
