Hundreds of people turned out in Ballymena on Saturday for the funeral of Northern Ireland supporter Darren Rodgers who died while in France supporting them.

The 24-year-old fell to his death in an accident on a promenade in Nice.

Team-mates from local side Braid United formed a guard of honour as his coffin left St Patrick's Church of Ireland in the town.

The service was not open to the media but Darren's family released a statement through the Church of Ireland press office in which they spoke of their heartfelt thanks at the huge outpouring of sympathy to them which had comforted them "through a very difficult time."

Darren was an only child.
