A funeral cortege left the family home at Chestnut Avenue, Killamarsh, and made its way through the city to the crematorium.

Tommy, 24, a new dad with a three month old daughter, died after the car he was travelling in with his nephew, Josh Hydes, 20, left the bridge at Meadowhall around 7pm on January 30.

The white Mercedes GLS, which Josh had been driving when it ran out of control, landed on its roof in the River Don.
