It was standing room only for the 300 mourners at St Mary Magdalene church in Pulham Market, as crowds gathered for the funeral service of 18-year-old Dominic O'Neill.

His mother Davina read a moving poem about the parting of a mother and son, and some of his closest friends fought back tears to deliver their own personal tributes to him.

They talked of the "annoying car noises" that were his trade mark, and his sense of humour.

"He was the funniest boy I've ever met... we will miss you will all our hearts."

His former deputy head teacher at Archbishop Sancroft High School in Harleston, Rob Connelly, gave a reading from Corinthians and spoke of Dominic's love of cars, drumming and the importance of friendship.

"Friends will also remember and treasure the incredible memories they have of being with Dominic," he said. 

"Mates came first to Dom - a loyal friend who would always be present, whether it be a party, at the rec or another trip to McDonalds... no-one has a bad word to say about Dom... because there aren't any."

A former pupil, Shania Scott, sang a version of Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven.

The service ended with Gary Barlow's Let Me Go.

Dominic lost his life, alongside two friends - Kyle Warren and Billy Hines - when their black Ford Ka was in collision with a tree on the Tivetshall Road near Pulham Market at around 23:50 on Wednesday, 5 April.

The harbourmaster at Waldringfield says the discovery of six suspected illegal immigrants at Orford on Sunday is just the "tip of the iceberg".

Tony Lyon said the problem is the number of boats coming up and down the River Deben: "I think we're moving more away from the drugs issue.

"It's people trafficking. They're coming in and they're just disappearing off into the area."

A 48-year-old man has been remanded in custody after appearing in court in connection with the discovery of six suspected illegal immigrants on a boat which was marooned on a river estuary in Suffolk on Sunday.

Hennadi Kurtoglu, who has been charged with facilitating the entry of illegal immigrants to Britain, has been sent to Ipswich Crown Court for trial at the end of May. 

The vessel was found on the River Ore near Orford. 

Proceedings to remove the six suspected illegal immigrants are under way.

A large group of friends walked behind the cortège at the funeral of 18-year-old Dominic O'Neill from Pulham Market - one of three friends killed in a car crash near the village a month ago.

The sister of a man who disappeared a month ago while walking on the A140 in south Norfolk has made an emotional appeal for his return.

Nigel Kedar, from Clacton in Essex, had been visiting a friend in Norwich who'd deflated tyres on Mr Kedar's vehicle, concerned he'd had too much to drink. 

He was last seen on 09:30 on Tuesday, 4 April, walking southbound through Dickleburgh near Diss towards Ipswich. 

At a press conference at Norfolk Police headquarters in Wymondham today, his sister Diana Mays had this message for him.

"Come home... you know you are loved... missed.  Anything you have done or are unhappy with, we can sort out." 

She added that Nigel had missed his 14-year-old son's birthday, and he needed him.

Specialist police officers, along with the National Police Air Service, are continuing their investigations into Mr Kedar's disappearance, but are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen him on or after 4 April. Any motorists who may have caught Nigel Kedar on their dashcams are also asked to come forward. 

Nigel Kedar is described as white, 5ft 11ins (180cm) tall, of a large build with short hair. 

He was wearing dark coloured trousers, with a lighter coloured long-sleeve shirt.

A vineyard in south Norfolk is now selling its first wines.

But the grapes have had to be brought in from Essex, while the vines at the Flint Vineyard in Earsham mature.

Last year Ben and Hannah Witchell planted their first vines, but are yet to get the first crop. They've spent the past year developing their wine-making techniques to enable them to produce English wines of world-class quality in their winery.

Ben, who trained in oenology - that's the science of winemaking - says they've worked with the Essex growers who produce the same grape varieties as they do, and have sourced some Bacchus and Pinot Blanc. 

"2016 was one of the best years we've had in England for a long time," he said.

The first official tour of the vineyard is tomorrow, when visitors will be able to taste the first wines produced at the site.
