FAMILY, friends and colleagues have said farewell to 20-year-old Richard Neale who died after a car crash on the A38 earlier this month.

Richard's coffin was carried across the River Tamar on a special sailing of the Torpoint Ferry. The hearse carrying the Torpoint man's coffin was the only vehicle on the ferry.

Richard, a former pupil at Torpoint Community College, had worked as a crewman on the ferries.

He died following a two-vehicle collision at the Lean Quarry junction near Liskeard.
