Rugby star memorial
A memorial service has taken place in Belfast for Ulster Rugby player Nevin Spence and his father and brother who died after falling into a slurry tank at their farm at Hillsborough in Northern Ireland.
Nevin Spence had 'huge potential', says former rugby star
One of Ulster's most famous former players David Humphreys, who is now director of professional rugby at the club, said he was overwhelmed by the loss of Nevin Spence - a man he had watched rise through the ranks.
"There was huge potential," he said, citing highlights of a career already packed with achievement.
But he also recalled Nevin as a player who was hugely popular off the pitch, and added: "You just need to listen to some of the conversations with our players over the last 24 hours.
"All of us are struggling to come to terms with what has happened."
