Mourners turned out for the funeral of Eastbourne teenager Jacob Sargeant today (June 26).

The 17-year-old, described as someone with the 'kindest heart' who brought happiness to many, tragically died at the scene of a collision on the A259 on Saturday, May 30.

Today a cortege of vehicles drove through Eastbourne to pay their respects, including a truck with a 'Jacob's World' banner. A fundraiser launched to support Jacob’s family after his death has so far raised more than £12,000.
