The funeral of a motorcyclist who died following a crash in Jersey last month took place today.

Kieran Le Bail, 23, died following a crash during an organised race on Jersey's Five Mile Road on 24 June.

Friends and family gathered at St Helier's Methodist Church this afternoon to pay respects to the "kind and gentle" man, who was the "glue that stuck his family together".
