Folkestone crash: Hundreds attend funeral of ‘unique’ seven-year-old boy

Hundreds of people gathered to pay respects to a seven-year-old boy killed in a suspected hit-and-run.
The funeral and burial for William Brown took place at St Mary and St Eanswythe Church, where hundreds of people stood outside because the 400-seat capacity church was packed out.
William died after a crash on December 6 on the A259 Sandgate Esplanade, when he was hit while trying to collect his football, his father William Brown Sr said.
Wrapped in winter warmers, mourners outside watched the service live-streamed on a television, holding flowers, praying and crying.
The family had campaigned for special permission for William to be buried in the churchyard, which had been closed for burials since 1857.
