Family to gather for funeral of beach death teen Kayden Moy

The funeral of teenager Kayden Moy, who died last month after a large disturbance on Irvine beach, will take place later in his home town in South Lanarkshire.

A service will take place at the Linn Crematorium in Glasgow on Friday at 10:00 before moving on to Philipshill Cemetery in East Kilbride.

It takes place just five days after what would have been Kayden's 17th birthday.

Busby AFC, Kayden's former football team, shared the details of his funeral on social media.

In the post, the club invited family, friends and members of the club community to attend and celebrate Kayden's life.

It said: "Kayden was a bright, kind and talented young individual who left a lasting impression on those around him during his time at the club.

"His passing is felt deeply by everyone connected to our community."

It asked people to share the arrangements so that all who knew Kayden would have the chance to say goodbye.

It added: "We extend our heartfelt condolences to Kayden's family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time."

The football club has set up a fundraising page for the family to help with funeral expenses. More than £16,000 has so far been raised.

On the teenager's birthday on Sunday - Father's Day - Kayden's dad Paul shared a poignant post.

He said: "Happy birthday my boy, Kayden Moy - love you, dad."

Three teenagers have been arrested following the death.

Two 17-year-olds were charged with his murder, and a 14-year-old has been charged in connection with the death.
