The funerals of three of the four teenagers killed in a Fife car crash have taken place.

The accident happened near Eden Bridge in Fife last Monday and killed Craig Lawson, 17, Steven Garland, 17, Mona Halliday, 16, and Lisa Donaldson, 16.

The funerals of Craig, from Ladybank, Steven, from Pitlessie and Mona, who attended Bell Baxter High School, Cupar, took place on Monday.

A service is being held for Lisa, also a Bell Baxter pupil, on Tuesday.

The youngsters were travelling in a Ford Fiesta on the A92, just north of the Eden Bridge in Fife, when it appeared to lose control on a bend and collide with a Volvo car travelling in the opposite direction.

The Fiesta left the road and crashed into a field.

Fife Constabulary said early inquiries suggested speed was a "significant factor" in the accident.

It is understood Steven Garland, who attended Fife College, was the driver of the car and had only recently passed his test.

His funeral was held at Cults Church ahead of a burial at Cults Cemetery.

The service for Craig, an apprentice plumber, from Roselea Gardens, Ladybank, was held at Ladybank Church before his burial at Kettle Cemetery.

Mona's funeral service took place at Kirkcaldy Crematorium.
