Family and friends gathered at Hethersett parish church to say their final farewells to a local man who died in a car crash.

Mourners congregated at St Remigius Church this afternoon for the funeral of father-of-three Trevor Bunn who was killed in a collision at the village near Norwich earlier this month.

The 30-year-old was the front seat passenger of a blue Volvo 850, which was in a collision with a Peugeot 206 on the B1172 Norwich Road at Hethersett on June 11.

The driver of the Volvo, 29-year-old Sara Page, also died in the crash.

Mr Bunn, who was unemployed, had been a successful cycle speedway rider and played football for Wymondham and Hethersett as a teenager.

His mother, Belinda, previously told the Evening News: 'He was just a lovely boy. He was well-known and is going to be missed by a lot of people in the village.'

Mr Bunn, who lived in Muriel Kenny Court, grew up in Hethersett and attended the village's junior school and high school. He lived in Hethersett his whole life except for a brief time at the Harts Farm estate in Wymondham. He had plans to become a chef or bricklayer.

Mr Bunn, who was described as 'bubbly' and 'fun', could often be found at the village's playing field watching football.

The Liverpool FC fan had hopes of rejoining Hethersett football club having played for the side as a teenager. He also played for Wymondham football club as a boy. When he was nine years old he also took up racing for the Hethersett Hawks Cycle Speedway Club, becoming its under-12s champion in 1992.

His father Richard said: 'I was very proud. I always went to support him. I went everywhere to watch him.

Miss Page's funeral service was held at Colney burial ground, near Norwich, last week. Inquests into the deaths have been opened and adjourned.

Anyone with information concerning the crash is asked to contact PC Ian Thexton at Norfolk Police's serious collision investigation team on 0845 456 4567.
