Mitch Couriard's funeral takes place today
The funeral of Honorary Police officer Mitch Couriard takes place in Jersey today.
Hundreds of people are expected to pay their respects to the former Vingtenier who was well known for his volunteer work and helping with large community events in the island.
The service will take place at the Town Church in St Helier at 12.30pm.
Screens are being put up in the church hall for members of the public to watch the service, if there isn't enough space in the church. There will also be speakers outside in the grounds of the church.
Members of Jersey's honorary police will form a Guard of Honour at the rear of the building.
A celebration of Mitch's life will take place next month at the Silver Jubilee Activity Centre at Crabbe where his ashes will be released.
