The funeral of motorcyclist John Crellin, who was killed in an accident during the Senior TT race in the Isle of Man, has taken place.

Mr Crellin was a civil engineer from the island and crashed at the Mountain Box section, on the final lap of the Manx TT races, on 12 June.

Just a few hours earlier, he had been on the podium after a third place finish in the inaugural TTXGP race.
